Bechara El Khoury (composer)
- Bechara El Khoury (composer)
Bechara El Khoury (Arabic: بشارة الخوري) is a Franco-Lebanese composer. Born in Beirut in 1957, he moved to Paris in 1979. Having written a hundred works between 1969 and 1978, he became extremely active as a pianist, conductor and Kappelmeister. He became a French national in 1987, and as a result many French institutions commissioned works for him
Since, he has received many prizes, and his works have been performed by orchestras as noted as the Orchestre National de France and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine.
By and large, his works are predominantly symphonic, tending to feelings of existential solitude and tragedy. His most ambitious work is the symphony "Les ruines de Beyrouth", composed in 1985 in memory of the 1975 war.
