This unique evening will showcase excerpts of Abdel Halim's films accompanied by the phenomenal young singer Mohammed Assaf, whose Arab Idol win propelled him to fame and to the hearts of millions. This cine-concert featuring 50 musicians will be conducted and orchestrated by Egyptian Maestro Hisham Gabr with the special participation of fellow Egyptian artists, singer Noha Hafez and videographer Amir Ramses.
