Draft:Moslem Rahal

Rahal was born in Latakia, Syria, in 1977, into a family of artists. The son of a poet and the brother of musicians, from childhood Moslem developed a passion for the percussion and string instruments played by his brothers, although his own chosen instrument is an end-blown reed instrument, the ney. Faced with the difficulty of acquiring a good quality ney, at the age of 14 he set about researching the craftsmanship of the instrument. He soon gained recognition as both a ney maker and player in Lattakia. Today he is one of the leading experts in the instrument.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feA6vs-yHHs |title=مع إكسبو {{!}} لقاء الفنان عازف الناي مسلم رحال المدير الفني للمشروع الأوروبي للإبداع الموسيقي أورفيوس21 |date=2021-12-17 |last=Dubai Media - دبي للإعلام |access-date= |via=}}

Rahal began his formal musical training at the Teachers Training Institute, Music Department in Lattakia (1995-1997). He subsequently pursued advanced studies at the Higher Institute of Music in Damascus (1998-2003), graduating and specializing in the ney. During this period, Rahal also began teaching the ney at the institute. His skills as a soloist were recognized early on, leading to his prominent role as a soloist with the Syrian National Symphony Orchestra.

Moslem Rahal was chosen by national orchestras and Western artists With reference to his expertise of playing the ney in a classical setting, thanks to his background in studying Western music and his contributions to the Syrian orchestra. His advanced studies in the field and the choice of an oriental instrument added a distinctive touch to the orchestra.

Moslem Rahal has performed extensively with symphonies, focusing on pieces that highlight the ney's role within orchestral settings. His repertoire includes concertos, sonatas, and traditional dances, specifically orchestrated to demonstrate the ney's unique capabilities in complementing orchestral arrangements. Rahal's contributions in these performances emphasize his commitment to expanding the ney's presence and appreciation within both Eastern and Western musical contexts.
