The Red Sea Museum will host an elegant classical music recital in the courtyard of Bab

together in the heart of Historic Jeddah. Set against the historic backdrop of Bab AlBunt,
the recital will present a curated selection of classical works by composers such as
Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and others whose music carries themes of emotion, memory
and longing.

The musical program will be curated around the theme of Distance, Memory and the Sea,
bringing together classical compositions that evoke journeys, longing, movement,

poetic dialogue with Photographing the Distance and with Bab AlBunt’s history as a
gateway of arrival, departure and connection across the Sea.
