Celebrating Saudi Musical Heritage
Organized by the Saudi Music Commission and the Saudi Ministry of Culture, the London concert will showcase Saudi Arabia’s rich musical heritage. Maestro Riab Ahmed will conduct the performance, blending Saudi and British music with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
