To mark the creation of the France-Kuwait Friendship Society, the International Philharmonic Orchestra-Paris, conducted by Maestro Amine Kouider, gave two exceptional concerts at the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre (JACC) in Kuwait City.
These concerts, organised in partnership with the French Embassy, the French Institute of Kuwait and the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters of Kuwait, celebrated the friendship and cultural cooperation between the two countries.
The first concert featured universal classical music, the French repertoire and traditional and contemporary Kuwaiti compositions. The second concert revisited the great classics of international cinema through their film scores.
The Maestro took advantage of his visit to Kuwait to share his experience with pupils from the Lycée français du Koweït and welcome nearly 750 schoolchildren from Kuwait City to a rehearsal.
