AHMED HAWWASH presents 'ETERNAL HOMELAND'

Eternal Homeland is a deeply personal musical project by Palestinian clarinetist and composer Ahmed Hawwash, rooted in memory, identity, and belonging. Drawing from fragments of his homeland, the project gathers forgotten Palestinian melodies, oral stories, and emotional landscapes, transforming them into a contemporary musical language.

These elements intertwine with Hawwash’s own compositions, creating a body of work that is both archival and forward-looking; music that remembers, questions, and reimagines home. The project reached its full artistic form with the release of the album Eternal Homeland in June 2025, marking the culmination of years of research, composition, and reflection.

On stage, Eternal Homeland becomes a full immersive experience. Performed by Ahmed Hawwash and his band, joined by a string quartet, the concert unfolds as a complete audiovisual journey. Carefully designed visuals, rich orchestration, and dynamic improvisation expand the music beyond the album, offering the audience an intimate yet powerful encounter. The performance moves between fragility and intensity, silence and eruption, tradition and experimentation—inviting listeners into a shared space of memory and presence. Eternal Homeland is not only a concert; it is an unforgettable experience that resonates long after the final note.
