The Historic Jeddah District is currently hosting the 'Jazz' program as part of the annual 'Balad Al-Fan' initiative.

Taking place from January 25 to 27 under the supervision of the Historic Jeddah Program, the event aims to revive classical music.

The Jazz evenings in Jeddah offer a unique cultural experience, featuring musical performances that blend traditional and contemporary art forms.

Through such cultural events, including Jazz performances, Balad Al-Fan enriches the Kingdom's cultural scene and attracts visitors to the historic Jeddah district. By presenting various art forms and initiatives, these events support the arts, foster creativity in Saudi Arabia, and enhance the overall visitor experience.

Jazz performances exemplify the blending of cultures and seamless musical transition between different scales. These performances are showcased by the inclusion of the renowned Hijazi maqam (melody) in specially curated musical pieces for the concert.

The jazz performances in Jeddah integrate diverse cultures and musical styles, including French, Spanish, Latin, American, English and Oriental. These crafted musical pieces reflect the cultural diversity and universal nature of music, showcasing its ability to transcend geographical boundaries and foster cultural integration.
