This October, the National Arab Orchestra returns to San Antonio for GoLive 2025, a one-of-a-kind weekend celebrating Arab music and dance. From October 3–5, more than 20 musicians and 60 dancers will come together for three days of workshops, performances, and collaboration – all set to the power of 100% live music.

Maestro Michael Ibrahim, founder and music director of the National Arab Orchestra, will lead a series of workshops that explore the language of Arab music and improvisation. Known for his dynamic artistry and commitment to preserving and sharing these traditions, Michael will guide participants through sessions designed to deepen their understanding and creativity.

GoLive isn’t just a festival – it’s a rare opportunity to witness how live Arab music transforms, inspires, and connects. Whether you’re in the audience or on the dance floor, you’ll leave changed.
