Omar Khayrat is a name that carries connotations of great talent and creativity no matter where you go in the world and whilst political Ambassadors often give their countries a bad name Omar Khayrat has done nothing but bring pride to the entire Arab world. His audiences in Abu Dhabi were keen to show their appreciation of his greatness as they greeted his entrance to the stage with warm applause. As always he did not disappoint.

His golden fingers glided on his piano as he played some of his most beautiful pieces that have been featured in movies worldwide accompanied by his band. As anyone who attended this concert which was part of ‘Angham Men El Gharb’ (Tunes from the West) will tell you it was difficult not to be in awe of this man’s music. And as they sat there mesmerized they forgot their worries and their troubles as he took them into a world of beauty, a world of music.
