Published in The Saudi Gazette on 15 - 06 - 2023

Under the patronage of Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, Minister of Culture, Saudi Arabia's Music Commission, with the participation of the Theater and Performing Arts Commission (TPAC), organized a musical evening entitled "Marvels of Saudi Music" in the capital of the United Mexican States.
The event at the National Auditorium in Mexico City was attended by Mexican Culture Minister Alejandra Frausto Guerrero, Saudi Ambassador to Mexico Haitham bin Hassan Al-Maliki, TPAC CEO Sultan Al-Bazai, Music Commission CEO Paul Pacifico, ambassadors of the GCC member states and other Arab countries accredited to Mexico, Mexican cultural figures, and music lovers.
On behalf of the Saudi Minister of Culture, the CEO of the Music Commission delivered a speech welcoming the participants to the 'Marvels of Saudi Music', a wonderful concert in which the Saudi National Orchestra and Choir, the Mexican Carlos Chavez Orchestra, and performing arts groups from the two countries participated.
"Saudi music has been painted since ancient times, an immortal painting, taking it past its initial starting point to the future in a journey of continuous and endless development. Its mainstay was the creative Saudi man, who lives today in a prosperous age under the Saudi Vision 2030, which considers supporting culture and empowering intellectuals an essential part of a development project that is the largest in the country's history," the CEO of the Music Commission said.
The concert saw the participation of 33 musicians and 39 singers from the Saudi National Orchestra and Choir, 40 performers from the Performing Arts Ensemble, in addition to 57 musicians from the Mexican Carlos Chavez Orchestra and the Mexican Folkloric Ballet of Fulcorette de Amelia Ensemble.
During the concert, Saudi Ambassador Al-Maliki and Theater and Performing Arts Commission CEO Sultan Al-Bazai presented an oud musical instrument as a souvenir gift to the Mexican Minister of Culture in appreciation of the great hospitality and interest that the Saudi delegation participating in the event received.
The Saudi National Orchestra and Choir are among the initiatives launched by the Music Commission to celebrate Saudi musical creativity, share it with the world, and promote international cultural exchange through music.
The Mexico concert comes as part of the global tours of the "Marvels of Saudi Music" initiative organized by the Music Commission and the TPAC out of their belief in the importance of music and performing arts and their role in enhancing communication between peoples. Moreover, it comes with the aim of achieving the goal of international cultural exchange, which is one of the strategic goals of the Ministry of Culture, which seeks to realize them under the umbrella of Saudi Vision 2030. — SPA
