The Music Commission has announced a strategic partnership with the “Jazz in Jeddah” platform, organized by “Neda Culture.” The partnership aims to enhance the private sector’s role in achieving cultural and musical goals, stimulate the Kingdom’s cultural music economy, and support high-quality cultural and musical projects and festivals.
“Jazz in Jeddah” is a national platform dedicated to discovering talent and developing skills through jazz music training and blending it with Saudi heritage. It achieves this through initiatives, cultural exchange programs, and international festivals featuring participants from over 10 countries annually, alongside producing music for local talents.
The events are held in the Historic Jeddah district, bringing musicians and audiences together for a musical experience that elevates the presence of jazz in the Kingdom. It opens broader spaces for artistic exchange between Saudi talent and international musicians. Further details regarding the events will be announced later on social media platforms.
The platform serves as a space for cultural exchange between Saudi music and jazz arts through an artistic program that combines diverse musical styles and experiences, delivering a performance that reflects the vitality and evolution of the Saudi music scene.
Mohamed Bakhrebah, founder of “Jazz in Jeddah,” stated that the Saudi public and musicians deserve a world-class stage, emphasizing that this strategic partnership strengthens the ability to expand jazz music and invest in artists and Saudi musical heritage.
He noted that the partnership underscores the importance of integration between cultural and economic growth by offering training and mentorship opportunities for Saudi musicians in a professional environment. Additionally, it provides shared performance spaces with international artists, helping develop capabilities, expand visibility, and foster interaction between local and international experiences.
Paul Pacifico, CEO of the Music Commission, stated: “The music sector’s growth accelerates when institutional efforts align with the private sector, unlocking broader horizons for development and sustainability. The platform has succeeded in building a solid relationship with both audiences and artists, and this partnership enables us to turn that presence into sustainable opportunities that enrich the Saudi music scene and elevate its standing in the global cultural movement.”
