| In the Middle East, Amine J. Hachem has sung for Kings, Queens and Presidents with a critically acclaimed tenor voice praised as "a gift from God." Six years ago Amine J. Hachem arrived in the United States. He has sung at The United Nations, The Henry Ford Museum, the Basilica of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and sold out the MGM Grand Casino. Metropolitan Opera star Rosalind Elias says "Amine J. Hachem is blessed with a magnificent instrument." On Wednesday, December 13, celebrated Lebanese tenor Amine J. Hachem makes his Carnegie Hall debut in "A Middle Eastern Christmas: From the Mediterranean to the Christmas" at 8PM in Weill Recital Hall. Tickets, priced from $55 to $100, are available at the Carnegie Hall Box Office, 154 West 57th Street, or can be charged to major credit cards by calling CarnegieCharge at 212-247-7800 or by visiting the Carnegie Hall website, www.CarnegieHall.org. "A Middle Eastern Christmas: From the Mediterranean to the Christmas" is presented by Clairemine Productions. Not your typical holiday concert, "A Middle Eastern Christmas" is a musical voyage inspired by Amine's life journey, growing up in Lebanon and the United States, and coming of age in Europe and the Middle East. In addition to Christmas favorites, Hachem will survey early musical influences ranging from great operatic tenors to rock icons. The eclectic program features operatic arias and popular hits interpreted through Amine's unique Franco-Arabic perspective, blending elements from Latin, Jazz, American Pop, European classical, Russian folk and traditional Arabic music. Amine says "these days it seems as if cultural diversity is often used as a wedge to divide us. As a young Middle Eastern artist, I wanted to create a holiday show that will transcend beyond cultural stereotypes and convey a message of hope and common humanity through music. Growing up in Lebanon, Christmas was the holiday that brought people together from all cultures. There was a Christmas tree in every house. Expats flew in from all over the world to celebrate. We sang holiday songs from all different cultures and traditions ...American, Lebanese, Latin, French, Italian and British. My Lebanese 'White Christmas' vision was a view of the snowy mountains overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean coast. With 'A Middle Eastern Christmas," I invite my audiences to join me in this musical reflection of my favorite time of the year." Dubbed as "a soulful and handsome young man who delivers an electrifying and thrilling performance, bringing the crowd to their feet", (An-Nahar), Amine J. Hachemis a Lebanese-American, operatic and crossover tenor who has captivated audiences across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. He has been a leading tenor in several operas and musicals, including La Traviata, Tosca, La Boheme, Madama Butterfly, Carmen, Phantom of the Opera, Evita, I Lombardi Alla Prima Crociata, Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8, and has also performed in numerous cabarets, and concert venues all over the world. Last season, Amine "pushed the boundaries of operatic music by integrating it with unconventional sounds from around the world"(BroadwayWorld)appearing at the MGM Grand Casino, the Bellagio Las Vegas, The United Nations, The Henry Ford Museum, Broadway's 54 Below, Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, Andrew W. Mellon Hall Auditorium, Elebash Recital Hall, The Metropolitan Club, and on the runways of New York Fashion Week as a guest performer. Hachem will appear a guest model in the upcoming film Ocean's 8. Amine recently starred in a TV pilot called "Love and Opera" on WE TV, and is also known for his voice-work including the Arabic version of Dr. T's character from the popular game Boom Beach. |
