At the Music Commission, our role is to support, develop and empower the music sector and its practitioners. Our work will enable the emergence of Saudi Arabia’s distinctive cultural musical identity, and promote it locally, regionally, and internationally.
Music has many facets and different people engage with it in many ways; it is simultaneously an art, craft, culture, science, source of wellbeing, and entertainment. We embrace all aspects and forms of music in all its contexts as we strive to foster a diverse, inclusive, and sustainable sector for Saudi Arabia, with access for all and opportunities for anyone seeking to explore music as a past time or profession, either as a creative practitioner or in a role in the plethora of jobs needed to sustain a successful sector.
We will do this by offering learning opportunities to all ages at every level and supporting musical production in all its forms while also helping in the distribution of musical performances and protecting the copyrights of musicians’ works.
Our biggest ambition is to elevate the status of music, which forms a key part of every individual’s daily lifestyle, to become a source of national and cultural pride at home and abroad, and to allow music to help tell the story of the Kingdom’s identity in its past, present and future, and to build bridges that foster cultural exchanges and help develop mutual understanding, respect and recognition around the world.
