The association’s president, Nabila Wehbe, expressed her pride in the artist, George Khabbaz, “who comes to the city of Baalbek bearing all the loyalty and love, to remain in his fine art as lofty as the Baalbek Castle.”
And she said: “Like the one who came from the illusion of loyalty, and the wood whispered about the flames, like the one who came from a winter nap, and after talking on the pillow, like Al-Harz wrapped in a cane paper, like the cluster in my mind became scattered, and the cup we drink, oh joy of the anxious, your vacation, George, for the age of Baalbek is a poem You write.”
Haider
Poet Talal Haidar considered that “George Khabbaz on stage is a crowd of artists in one man, you think that he inhabits many bodies, each of them embodies a meaning, as if suddenly, carrying you to a joy that goes beyond joy because it becomes surprising. George Khabbaz writes poems with his body that he does not realize the magic of. Except for those who know magic, a genius artist or a madman, who picks roses from the gardens of joy to decorate the paths of life for those who walk in time.”
He saw that “man is two people, one wipes the children’s eyes at night of sadness, and another asks the day to erase the night, so that the sun of joy shines on the orchard of life. George is a baker carrying a basket full of joy apples, with which Adam and Eve add without temptation, so that they do not fall from heaven.”
He concluded: “These countries that stab in the heart, stab in the back, and attach decorations only to coffins, still dwell in oblivion, and we thank God that there is Germany that reveals a genius from Lebanon named George Khabbaz to transfer the seventh art from Germany to the world.”
Miqdad
Kawthar Al-Miqdad presented the artist, a baker, and saw that he “represents humanity with his words, songs and sweet art like his soul, and his journey to stardom was not easy, but it was fraught with challenges, fear, sadness, and he reached his artistic creativity after he was tired of fatigue.”

Khabaz
In turn, Mr. Khabbaz said: “Since I entered Baalbek, and I saw the castle, I was greatly affected, as it gives us hope for steadfastness and steadfastness. In his land despite all storms, encroachments, fires and problems, if we are trees, we must not forget the birds, and if we are birds, we must not forget the trees.
He added: “Oh, Baalbek, glory, we may not give you, you are not enough, and all those who have given you their souls are in you, and those who have given you their faces on your stones, you are drawing your news, and you reveal your secrets, and with her silence she tells and tells this story for the days to come, and you scream, Oh Baalbek, glory has not given you, what is Mankafeki”.
Among his pleas to the Lord: “You are the one who lives far away, who lives in me or on my side, I will not ask you for anything, you know what I want, I will not ask for health, money, or gifts, and do not change the past and do not reveal its secrets to me, you want to immerse me in love and clear intentions for me, and who Your light leads to me, you are the one who lives far away, who lives in me or on my side.”
And the conclusion is with the song “Keberat Al Banout”, which the audience participated in its performance.
