About Event

​Hello music lovers!

​As some of you know, I’ve been meaning to share the music that I love, starting with classical and take a deep dive into what makes this music great.

​Every session will have a different taste to it, and I’ll always try to teach some music concepts before we jump in to facilitate and guide your listening experience.

​I hope you enjoy this music as music as I do.

​Don’t you work in tech, Omar?

​Yes! I do, and I am also a tenor with the Toronto Mendelssohn choir (the choir that performs with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra), can play multiple instruments and have been an avid music listener since I was a kid.
