Fahed Hawa — Documented International Festival Contributions
Updated: Sep 25
Fahed Hawa (فهد حوا) is a Lebanese violinist and musician. This archive records documented international and regional cultural participation through official certificates held by the artist. Two records are currently documented in detail: the 18th Bahrain International Music Festival in October 2009 and the Fourth Arab Theatre Festival in Amman, Jordan, in January 2012.
18th Bahrain International Music Festival — 10–16 October 2009
Fahed Hawa received a Certificate of Appreciation connected with the 18th Bahrain International Music Festival, held from 10 to 16 October 2009 in Bahrain. The certificate carries the branding of Bahrain’s Ministry of Culture & Information and recognizes Fahed Hawa’s contribution to the festival.
The record is significant because it places Fahed Hawa’s professional musical activity within an international festival setting more than a decade before his current digital music archive. The certificate itself is the documented source for the participation record. The specific venue and individual performance schedule are not stated in the available certificate, so this archive does not assign a venue that cannot be verified from the document.
The festival context is important because an international music festival is a formal cultural setting in which musicians and artistic contributors participate within wider programming. For Fahed Hawa’s career archive, the certificate serves as a dated piece of evidence linking his name to an established Bahrain cultural event. It also provides a historical reference point for the international dimension of his professional activity.
Fourth Arab Theatre Festival — Amman, Jordan — 10–15 January 2012
A second official record documents Fahed Hawa’s participation in the Fourth Arab Theatre Festival in Amman, Jordan, held from 10 to 15 January 2012. The certificate is a Certificate of Participation issued through the Arab Theatre Institute and the Jordanian Artists Syndicate.
This record adds a different cultural dimension to the archive. The event was a regional Arab theatre festival rather than a music-only festival, showing participation in a broader performing-arts environment. Again, the certificate is the source used for the participation claim. Because the available document does not establish a specific performance venue or a detailed daily schedule for Fahed Hawa, those details are intentionally not added here.
The January 2012 date is useful for understanding the chronology of the record. The Bahrain certificate documents a contribution in October 2009, followed more than two years later by a documented participation in Amman. The two records therefore establish separate points in time and separate national cultural settings without requiring claims about activities that the certificates do not describe.
Why these records matter
International festival documentation helps build a chronological professional record. The Bahrain certificate places a documented contribution in October 2009, while the Jordan certificate provides a second dated participation in January 2012. The two records show activity across different countries and different cultural-event formats, and they provide primary documentation that can be preserved alongside later television, media and digital-music references.
The impact of these records should be understood in documentary terms. They do not, by themselves, establish audience figures, awards, rankings or other claims that are not written on the certificates. Their value is that they preserve dated evidence of Fahed Hawa’s participation in international and regional cultural events and create a foundation for a larger professional archive.
Context and documentation standard
The archive deliberately separates what the certificates establish from what would require additional sources. Event name, country, dates and issuing organizations can be stated because they are documented. Venue, exact performance schedule, role, collaborators or audience numbers are not added unless another reliable source establishes them. This approach makes the page useful for professional documentation without turning a certificate into evidence for unrelated claims.
Continuing the international archive
Additional festival certificates, event programs, invitations or reliable media reports can be added when they are available and can be verified. The same documentation standard will be maintained so that each new record contributes a clear date, location and context to the overall career archive.
These international records also connect naturally with the other parts of the official website. The music-release archive documents Fahed Hawa’s recorded work, while the television and media archive documents public broadcast and editorial references. Together, the three pages form a connected record of music releases, media activity and international cultural participation.
