Nostalgic, exuberant, and hopeful. The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra’s first-ever appearance on stage since the pandemic hit the audience right in the feels.
Wearing face masks during their performance, 40 members of the orchestra came together in one stage yesterday playing for the audience with the same passion despite the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Following the Ministry of Public Health’s guidelines, only 90 people were allowed to watch each of the two shows at the Qatar National Convention Centre Auditorium 3, all wearing face masks and observing social distance all throughout the show.
