BeirutChantsFestival

In the wake of the protests taking place in the country for the past month, and after deep thinking, the organizing committee of Beirut Chants, with the support of its sponsors and confirmation from its invitees, has decided to keep its schedule for this year’s festival, aiming to preserve this yearly cultural rendez-vous, with belief that culture is not a luxury, but rather an essential component in social, economic, and intellectual development in any community.

بيروت ترنم للوطن

We deeply thank our partners for supporting us in offering music to everyone and in sustaining this platform of unity.

As the situation in the country remains uncertain, venues and concerts are subject to change. Please always refer to beirutchants.com for updates.
