Composer and pianist Malek Jandali presents “Woman”, a new composition for piano and orchestra, recorded in Moscow with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra. Released on March 8, 2025 honoring International Women’s Day in collaboration with Qatar Museums and the Years of Culture.

Jandali’s “Woman” is part of his broader artistic mission to use the soft power of music to challenge stereotypes and reshape Western perceptions of Arab and Islamic culture. Through this lyrical, four-minute symphonic piece, Jandali celebrates the dignity, strength, and tenderness of women, drawing on the rich values of Arab-Islamic heritage that honor and uplift women — principles sometimes overlooked in global narratives.

This composition integrates Arabic Maqams (modes) in a symphonic structure with a flowing orchestration like a river with gentle yet powerful waves, “Woman” carries a universal message of appreciation, respect, and solidarity, positioning Arab culture as an essential partner in global civilization.
