About the Canadian Arabic Orchestra
The Canadian Arabic Orchestra is a professional not-for-profit organization founded in 2014 by Wafa Al Zaghal and Lamees Audeh. Based in Mississauga, Ontario, the Orchestra is dedicated to connecting audiences with classical Arabic music while celebrating the diversity of Canada’s cultural landscape and highlighting the relationship between Arabic and Western classical music traditions through concerts, lectures, and collaborations with other Canadian musical and cultural organizations.

The Canadian Arabic Orchestra founded the Canadian Arabic Choir in September 2015 as an organization dedicated to familiarizing children with classical Arabic musical instruments. Seeking to serve as one of the main resources of Arabic music in North America, the Choir aims to provide audiences with new insights into the traditions and history of classical Arabic music.
