An Evening of Music and Peace
As we enter the holy Christmas season, join CNEWA and our family of supporters for a special concert celebrating the universal message of peace.
The evening features Lebanese-American vocalist Maya Malek, accompanied by pianist John El Osta and an ensemble of talented young Lebanese musicians.
Meet Featured Vocalist Maya Malek
Born and raised in Zahle, Lebanon, Maya Malek has performed internationally, including concerts honoring Saint Charbel and appearances with the NAM Association in San Diego.
A frequent performer with the Los Angeles Arab Orchestra, she also shares her musical gifts through her church ministry in California. Her artistry blends Eastern and Western musical traditions.
Christmas Music Across Traditions
The concert brings together beloved Christmas hymns and carols from the Syriac, Byzantine and Maronite traditions, alongside inspirational songs of hope, unity, faith and peace.
Together, these musical traditions invite us to reflect on the true spirit of Christmas and the values that unite us across cultures and generations.
Celebrating a Century of Healing and Hope
As CNEWA concludes its hundredth year of service and prepares to enter its second century, we remain committed to our Gospel-driven mission of bringing healing and hope to those most in need.
We look forward to celebrating this special season with the members of our CNEWA family.
