Syria, one of the oldest cradles of human civilization, once gave birth to some of the earliest songs known to mankind. From the Assyrians and Persians to the Ottoman Empire, countless civilizations have risen and fallen upon this land, layered through centuries of history — only to be torn apart again and again by violence. Ailee’s first concert is set here, singing what could be called the “ancient” song of another civilization. Civilizations may fall into silence, but they never truly end. Where the source runs deep, the river flows long. Where the roots are strong, the branches will flourish.
