The concert hall is built to host a huge variety of performances ranging from conferences and exhibitions to performing arts.

As a performer for more than 15 years, Guy Manoukian has established himself as one of the greatest talents to originate from the Middle East. A child prodigy, Guy performed on television at the age of 6. He also went on to perform at the Presidential palace at the age of seven.

Owing to his classical music background, Manoukian began to fuse Arabic melodies with contemporary pieces, and he quickly gained fame and acclaim across the world.
