About The Ensemble

Born in the Mountains,
Echoing Across Generations

Founded in the tranquil sanctuary of Baysour, Mount Lebanon, Saba Al Arz (صبا الأرز) was envisioned not merely as an orchestra, but as a living cathedral for classical Levantine choral traditions.

In an era dominated by transient acoustic trends, we preserve the towering masterworks of the Rahbani Brothers, Fairouz, Wadih El Safi, Philmon Wehbe, and Zaki Nassif—re-arranging them with classical four-part polyphonic discipline and sweeping oriental symphonic instrumentation.

“Music is the unbroken memory of our soil. When our voices unite in four-part harmony, the cedar speaks with the majesty of eternity.”

— Maestro Safi Aridi, Artistic Director
