Founded in 2010 as a small group of friends who liked singing together, it has grown into a full SATB ensemble of singers from very different backgrounds, held together by a shared love of harmony.

Under the artistic direction of its founder, Patrick Gharios, Syncope has built its own place in the Lebanese music scene. Our repertoire runs from sacred hymns to pop, commercial hits and current chart songs, all of them rewritten in our own original four-part arrangements. That is what sets us apart: you’ll recognize the song, but you won’t have heard it sung this way before.

Off the concert stage, Syncope sings at weddings, private and corporate events, charity concerts and cultural festivals. Every program is built for the occasion, and we put as much care into a church ceremony as we do into a full concert.

For us, singing has always been about connection more than performance. Music is how we tell stories, lift people up and bring a room together. Whether on stage, in rehearsal or within our community, Syncope keeps growing as a place where every voice counts.

Syncope is a choir, but for the people in it, it’s closer to a family.
