RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Music Commission has announced a strategic partnership with the Jazz in Jeddah platform, an initiative organized by Call of Culture to boost private-sector collaboration and accelerate the growth of the Kingdom’s music sector.
The partnership builds on a previously signed memorandum of understanding aimed at fostering high-quality cultural initiatives and supporting local talent.
Dedicated to developing emerging musicians, Jazz in Jeddah blends the global genre with Saudi musical heritage. The platform features cultural exchange initiatives, artist development programs and yearly partnerships with international festivals across more than 10 countries.
The upcoming edition of Jazz in Jeddah will take place in October in the city’s historic Al-Balad district, bringing together local and international artists to create opportunities for live performances and creative exchange.
“Saudi audiences and musicians deserve a world-class stage. This strategic partnership strengthens our ability to expand the presence of jazz while investing in Saudi artists and the Kingdom’s musical heritage,” said Mohammed Bakhreiba, founder of Jazz in Jeddah.
