To order: by phone (961) 3 231660, Beirut Lebanon. via email: orders@ghazimikdashi.com;.

Dr. Mikdashi has composed music, created story ideas, and supervised (and sometimes directed) plays that enriched the souls of adults and enlightened the days of children. His themes were derived from times of war, from every day life in the city, from the imaginations and dreams of children, and from a personal vision for a better world. He continues to write, and compose music and stories. He was able to gather a team of talented writers, young singers, and musicians and founded Al-Sanabel Group® dedicated to creation of musical stories for the young and the young at heart, inspired by the beloved city, Beirut.

Coming soon: listen to sample songs from the collection.
