Reception edit
Angus McPherson from Limelight Magazine said "The multi-award winning Tawadros has made a career of blurring the boundaries between middle-eastern classical music, contemporary jazz and Western classical music, and is known for his easy-going stage presence and quick-witted banter – all of which he brought to the Opera House in spades in this concert with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra...". McPherson called it "A warm-hearted concert that was, quite simply, loads of fun".[5]
