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.
