Music District community
Community Initiatives
Music grows when we share it. Explore the programmes, learning spaces and events bringing musicians together across the UAE.
Music for every stage of the journey
Our community work brings together emerging players, educators, technicians and audiences. Some initiatives focus on learning and craft; others create room to perform, discover instruments and meet fellow musicians.
