How can the legacy of an artist continue to inspire generations long after the final curtain falls?

The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) is organizing "Romeo Lahoud: A Multifaceted Artistic Journey," a special tribute celebrating the remarkable contributions of Romeo Lahoud to Lebanese music and musical theater, and honoring an artistic journey that has left a lasting mark on the country's cultural heritage.

Organized by the School of Music in collaboration with the Phoenix Center for Lebanese Studies, the event will take place on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., at the John Paul II Amphitheater.

The evening will open with an exhibition curated by the Phoenix Center for Lebanese Studies, showcasing a selection of archival documents and memorabilia from its Romeo Lahoud collection. Offering a glimpse into the artist's creative journey, the exhibition will highlight the importance of documenting and preserving Lebanon's musical and theatrical heritage.

A panel discussion will follow, featuring:

• Nahi Lahoud, sharing personal memories of his brother;
• Fr. Prof. Badih El Hajj, exploring the relationship between Lahoud's music and theater;
• poet Henri Zoghaib, reflecting on the elegance and artistic character of his theatrical work.

The program will also feature a short documentary produced by students of the School of Music, followed by a tribute concert presenting a selection of Romeo Lahoud's songs, performed by Aline Lahoud, accompanied by instrumentalists from the School of Music's faculty and a student choir.

Through this event, USEK reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding Lebanon's artistic heritage, fostering intergenerational cultural exchange, and ensuring that the creativity and contributions of pioneering Lebanese artists continue to inspire future generations.
