The Orchestra is now conducted by Dr. Aly Osman. The Orchestra is composed of blind girls with different levels of music education. The girls learn to play their musical parts separately and they train twice a week as an orchestra. This Orchestra is unique in the world as it is the only Orchestra entirely composed of blind persons who play western classical music as well as oriental music. It has performed for a wide variety of audiences. The Al Nour Wal Amal Orchestra is a chamber orchestra with all four sections: strings, woodwind, brass and ercussion. The Orchestra started travelling abroad in 1988 and has, to date, traveled 23 times to 5 continents and performed very successfully in more than 25 countries, for example: three times in Greece and Austria , twice in Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and France, and once in Jordan, Kuwait, England, Sweden, Spain, Morocco, Japan, Thailand, Canada, Australia, Switzerland and India. The Orchestra has been received in all countries with enthusiasm and affection and achieved outstanding success, recognition and standing ovations.

THE LIGHT AND HOPE ORCHESTRA The Music Institute Orchestra began as a group of 15 girls and over the years developed into a Chamber Orchestra of 38 girls, which became the most famous part of the Nour Wal Amal Association. In the last twenty years, the Orchestra was trained and conducted by the late Maestro Ahmed Abul Eid, who had succeeded in developing special techniques and methods to enable the girls to perform as an orchestra without the need to read the notes while performing, and without the very essential dependence on the famous “baton” of the conductor. The Orchestra is now conducted by Dr. Aly Osman. The Orchestra is composed of blind girls with different levels of music education. The girls learn to play their musical parts separately and they train twice a week as an orchestra.

This Orchestra is unique in the world as it is the only Orchestra entirely composed of blind persons who play western classical music as well as oriental music. It has performed for a wide variety of audiences. The Al Nour Wal Amal Orchestra  is a chamber orchestra with all four sections: strings, woodwind, brass and  ercussion.  The Orchestra started travelling abroad in 1988 and has, to date, traveled 23 times to 5 continents and performed very successfully in more than 25 countries, for example: three times in Greece and  Austria , twice in Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and France,  and  once  in  Jordan,  Kuwait,  England,  Sweden,  Spain, Morocco,  Japan,  Thailand,  Canada,  Australia,  Switzerland  and India.  The  Orchestra  has  been  received  in  all  countries  with enthusiasm  and  affection  and  achieved  outstanding  success, recognition and standing ovations.

Das Light & Hope Orchester ist nach dem großartigen Erfolg im Vorjahr wieder in Graz. Das aus Kairo stammende Al Nour Wal Amal (Light & Hope) Orchester ist eine weltweit einzigartige Institution. Das Orchester mit seinen 38 Mitgliedern besteht zur Gänze aus blinden Mädchen und jungen Frauen, die ihr Publikum mit europäischer Klassik und der Musik ägyptischer Komponisten begeistert. Während der letzten 20 Jahre wurde das Orchester von Maestro Ahmed Abul Eid geleitet, der erfolgreich spezielle Techniken und Methoden entwickelte, um das Spiel ohne Noten und den sonst essenziellen Dirigentenstab zu ermöglichen. Das Orchester wird jetzt von Dr. Ali Osman dirigiert.
