Egypt&rsquo;s Minister of Culture, Gihane Zaki, attended rehearsals for the Egyptian National Choir and Orchestra led by renowned maestro Selim Sahab, highlighting the initiative&rsquo;s role in discovering and supporting musical talent from across the country.
The rehearsals took place at El Samer Theater and were organised by the General Authority for Cultural Palaces. The project brings together young performers from different cultural regions as part of the Ministry of Culture&rsquo;s efforts to expand artistic opportunities across Egypt&rsquo;s governorates and strengthen the presence of classical and choral music nationwide.
During the visit, Zaki praised the participants&rsquo; performance, describing the initiative as an important step in supporting emerging talent outside major cultural centres. She said working under the guidance of Sahab offers young performers valuable professional training and helps them develop their musical abilities on a strong artistic foundation.
&ldquo;The goal is to prepare a new generation of artists capable of carrying forward Egyptian arts and preserving the country&rsquo;s authentic musical heritage,&rdquo; Zaki said, adding that the ministry is committed to creating a supportive environment for young performers in areas such as choral singing and orchestral music.
