Dorsaf Hamdani and the Orchestre Symphonique de Sousse bring "Tarabiat Symphoniques" to El Jem
Tunisian soprano Dorsaf Hamdani joins the Orchestre Symphonique de Sousse at the UNESCO-listed Roman amphitheatre of El Jem on Wednesday 15 July for "Tarabiat Symphoniques", the second concert of the 39th Festival International de Musique Symphonique d'El Jem.
Tunisian soprano Dorsaf Hamdani performs with the Orchestre Symphonique de Sousse on Wednesday 15 July at 22:00, in a programme titled Tarabiat Symphoniques. The concert is the second of ten scheduled across the 39th Festival International de Musique Symphonique d'El Jem, which runs from 11 July to 15 August 2026.
Hamdani is known for placing Arabic maqam within orchestral symphonic arrangements, bringing a classical-crossover approach to the concert hall. Tarabiat Symphoniques — a title that pairs the Arabic tarab tradition of deep musical feeling with the symphonic form — reflects that signature blend.
The setting is the Roman amphitheatre of El Jem, a UNESCO World Heritage Site originally built to seat around 35,000 spectators. The venue is located on Route Mahdia in El Jem. The concert runs approximately two hours.
Tickets are priced at 42 TND (gradins) and 43 TND (chaise). Book at teskerti.tn.
