Oud Player & Composer Hesham Hamra studied at the Popakademie Mannheim, where he completed his bachelor's degree in "World Music" in 2021. He works as a composer and oud player with Pulse Project, Ensemble Colourage (State Philharmonic Orchestra of Rhineland-Palatinate) and Bridges – Music connects. “Music always comes from the heart, from the soul. It's like love, you can't really explain it. When someone asks you, 'Where does love come from?', there's no answer. It comes from everywhere. Music is a medicine for everything. And what we want to convey with our music is love, hope and longing. Personally, I can't live without music".
