This event was officially announced&nbsp;at a press conference held today at the British Embassy, by the British Ambassador to Egypt, Gareth Bayley, and Ahmed Abouzahra, Co-founder and General Manager of Arabesque International, the event&rsquo;s organizing company.&nbsp;
The British Ambassador to Egypt, Gareth Bayley described the event as a cultural bridge between Egypt and the United Kingdom, emphasizing that this will be the Royal Philharmonic&rsquo;s first performance in Egypt. He also highlighted the event will be a unique experience where audiences will enjoy both classical masterpieces and renowned film scores at the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Bayley also talked about the Royal Philharmonic&nbsp;Orchestra saying, "The orchestra is as old as the UK culture in modern times, and His Majesty,&nbsp;King Charles&nbsp;III is the patron of the orchestra", he also emphasized that these concerts are not only a celebration of art, but a symbol of the deep-rooted friendship and collaboration between Egypt and the UK, and that the UK look forward to further cultural and artistic exchange that enriches the creative landscape of both countries.&nbsp;
Ahmed Abouzahra, Co-founder and General Manager of Arabesque International, emphasized the high caliber of the Royal Philharmonic, known globally for its distinguished performances, saying, &ldquo;The Royal Philharmonic is celebrated for their breathtaking film music performances and their concerts in some of the world&rsquo;s most distinguished venues, which attracts a diverse audience. This event will add a new dimension to Egypt&rsquo;s cultural scene&rdquo;.&nbsp;
Abouzahra also added that these musical genres often receive limited media coverage due to their niche appeal, &ldquo;Through events like these, we aim to broaden their reach. We&rsquo;ve chosen classic compositions that resonate with Egyptian audiences, including music from Egyptian cinema in the 1950s and 1960s&rdquo;.
