SEE YOU SOON
Join us on Monday, May 26th, 2025, from 6 to 9 PM. New works, a new gelato, and a solo flute recital by Wissam Boustany where “Love” and “Amore” meet
Opening May 26, 2025, H. 18.00
Ross Birrell, Wissam Boustany, Mural, solo flute recital, H. 20.00
Mural is a collaboration between the artist Ross Birrell and Lebanese flautist and composer, Wissam Boustany, based upon the transposition of lines by Mahmoud Darwish into musical notation. Boustany is an established musician and teacher who teaches according to “A Method Called Love”, and the collaboration responds to the context of Birrell and Harding’s Love (Dante Desire Line Path) in which Dante expresses “love” as the ultimate ground for forgiveness of injury. The recital will take place at the point in the path where the words “Love” and “Amore” meet.
Wissam Boustany’s passionate musicality has helped him forge a distinctive reputation as an international flute soloist. His charismatic stage presence brings tremendous power and nuance to a diverse range of musical genres ranging from baroque, classical, romantic, contemporary and cultural settings. Imaginative programming often mixes the innovative with the traditional, combining an improvisatory flair with a wide emotional and expressive range, as well as an acute sense of tone colour and nuance. Wissam’s approach to teaching has become known as his ‘Method Called Love’, inspiring many students and audiences. In recent years, Wissam has developed a keen interest in conducting, which led to the launch of his own orchestra, the Pro Youth Philharmonia, in 2018. The orchestra’s ethos, based on Wissam’s ‘Method Called Love’, embarked on two glorious tours before having to wind down during the pandemic. Recently, Wissam has reinvented his recital and orchestral presentations under the title Inner Journeys, transforming them into an arena for shared inspiration, debate and audience engagement. He is currently President of the British Flute Society, chairman of PalMusic UK, Patron of Musicians for Peace and Disarmament and Patron of the British Susuki Music Association.
