The concerts program includes the most famous compositions of the musician Hani Shenouda, including, “Shams Alzunati”, “Ghareeb Fi Baity”, “El-Ghoul”, and “Essabet Hamada Wi Tutu”.

 

It is worth mentioning that, World Music Day came as a result of an initiative launched by the French Ministry of Culture on June 21, 1982 under the slogan "Play music on the Festival of Musicians", attracting thousands of professional, amateur musicians.

Francophone and Mediterranean countries were the first to participate in this festival, and lately it turned into a global celebration.
