Riyadh Music Week hits high note

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Music Commission on Wednesday inaugurated Riyadh Music Week as part of efforts to establish the capital as a global hub for the music industry.

Set to run until Dec. 14, the event will showcase a wide array of activities designed to advance the Kingdom’s music scene.

The launch showcased a composition blending Saudi Arabia’s musical heritage with international influences, embodying the theme of the event.

Riyadh Music Week seeks to establish the Kingdom as a global cultural hub, elevate and showcase musical talent on the international stage, and promote cross-sector collaboration to drive the growth and development of the music industry.

It also offers a dynamic program, including dialogue sessions, workshops, training courses, and concerts featuring a mix of performances by Saudi and international artists.

The Music Commission is committed to fostering the growth of music in the Kingdom as an art form, cultural expression, science, and source of entertainment. Its efforts are centered around five key pillars: music education, music production, live performances, support and promotion, and establishing a comprehensive licensing system.
