Tunisian maestro Amal Guermazi: ‘Music helps us become closer to ourselves’
BEIRUT: The trailblazing Paris-based Tunisian musician, musicologist and conductor Amal Guermazi has spent many years introducing Arabic music to Western audiences as leader of the Mazzika Orchestra — billed as performing an “exquisite fusion of Arabic music with refined orchestral artistry … (reinterpreting) Arabic classic and pop masterpieces with rich orchestral arrangements.”
Here, Guermazi talks about her belief that music can offer refuge in times of upheaval, her sense of responsibility as a woman in a field dominated by men, and her ambitions for Mazzika.
