Born in Amman, Jordan, he gained early international attention in 2009 at London’s Barbican under Sir Colin Davis, and at the BBC Proms with Daniel Barenboim, who first heard him perform at the age of ten, saying, ‘What you cannot learn, he already knows.’ Said, based in Lebanon, plays regularly on the worlds’ most renowned stages. His passion for diverse programming is reflected in his award-winning albums Echoes from an Empire, Legacy, and his latest album (2024), Beethoven, Webern, Schoenberg, Mozart.
