Working with Maestro Samer Hatoum on my Serenata composition was my pleasure. By adding dynamics, Maestro Samer Hatoum, along with a talented orchestra, has been able to bring my composition to life, and to a bigger audience, while retaining my originality. Maestro Samer Hatoum is truly a skilled and talented musician.

Dear Samer,

You are a real professional! I've been listening to your music for about an hour, and I can't get enough. It's enthralling and heavenly! You have a very promising future!

I'm looking forward to listening to more of your amazing music.

Good luck with your new endeavors!

Recently I have stumbled upon Composer Nguyen Manh Cuong's composition Serenata conducted by Maestro Samer Hatoum, and was delighted to discover what a beautiful piece this is! With such a flowing melody, the piece definitely brings upon a romantic mood. Composer Nguyen Manh Cuong possesses a true gift, and coupled with Maestro Samer Hatoum, has been able to create a stunning composition. Thank you both for sharing this work with us!

Félicitations cher Maestro pour vos contributions musicales précieuses qui reflètent un talent de compositeur et d'arrangeur de haut vol.
Etant moi-même docteur en musicologie, compositeur et arrangeur d'obédience musicale arabo-libanaise, je voudrais tout particulièrement vous féliciter aussi pour les performances que vous avez réalisées avec l'orchestre arabo-oriental du Conservatoire Supérieur de Beyrouth au Liban. Les arrangements étaient d'une qualité rare que l'orchestre du conservatoire sous la direction du maestro André Hage a exécutés avec brio et beaucoup de goût.
Bonne chance cher Maestro et bonne continuation,
Bien cordialement,
Dr Elie Ashkar

I am a composer of over 150 works, and recently I had two compositions of mine, Atmospheric Gardens, and Calm, performed and conducted by Maestro Samer Hatoum and the Ploesti Orchestra from Romania. He made a very professional job of both of them, and the way he conducted the orchestra like as if it was his own instrument, leaves me nothing but Applause. Well done Maestro Hatoum, the interpretation you gave of these two difficult scores is something that should be noted by other composers. A composition in the hands of Samer Hatoum will have what it deserves, a Professional outcome.

I always enjoying playing your orchestrations . I did it already many times and I will do it with great joy every time in future as they are always beautiful music .

I am a composer of Classical, Avant-Garde, and Jazz Music, with over 150 works to my credit, including Symphonies, Concertos, String Quartets, Sonatas, and Avant-Garde Chamber Music, even Graphic scores, and some of my music has been performed and recorded in Berlin, Chicago, Argentina, Columbia, Los Angeles, Connecticut, and France.
Now , thanks to Maestro Samer Hatoum, even in Romania, with the Ploeisti Philharmonic Orchestra, and I have to say, in most sincerity, that working with Maestro Samer Hatoum is a very professional experience which takes the composer to a higher level of consciousness.
Maestro Hatoum understands the work, and the composer, and he immediately sets his concentration on having a professional performance.
In this case, my works recorded under the baton of Samer Hatoum are Atmospheric Gardens, for Solo Violin and String Orchestra, and CALM for String Orchestra and in both I have found a very professional performance by the mentioned Orchestra under the conducting of a professional Maestro Samer Hatoum. I encourage other composers, known, or new, that they should work with Samer Hatoum to the full and they will have a professional work.
