  • <p>The Bahrain Philharmonic Orchestra performed a tribute concert to one of Bahrain&rsquo;s most popular musical artists, the late Ali Bahar, at the Bahrain National Theatre last night. Conducted by Bahraini maestro Dr Mubarak Najem, the concert featured three members from Mr Bahar&rsquo;s the Brothers Band (Furqat Al Ekhwa) and a number of talented Bahraini singers.</p> <p>A larger-than-life on-stage hologram of Mr Bahar, who died in 2011, sang the concert&rsquo;s final two songs, and his likeness even gave a speech an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated voice. The 1,001-seat hall was completely sold out last night.</p> <p>Due to the overwhelming response, a second show is set to take place tomorrow night.</p> <p>Above, Dr Najem with the three members from the band.&nbsp;</p>
