Burgan Bank sponsored the first Classical Music Performance at Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre

Burgan Bank is proud to have been part of the first ever classical music performance at Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre for two complete symphonies by Beethoven and Fauré. The Bank’s sponsorship of this performance marks a historic moment for Kuwait at it is the first time classical music symphonies are played in full by an orchestra and choir.

 “Ahmadi Music Group” (AMG), whose world-standard performance left the audiences astounded, conducted two symphonies at the Music Hall of Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre; world renowned classical pieces of ‘Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony’ and ‘Fauré’s Requiem’, with the orchestra and choir performing and bringing out the best of what classical music has to offer. Burgan Bank’s support of this historic event is part of its efforts to spread cultural knowledge, enrich the community, and present the best of worldly arts to Kuwait.

AMG is one of the oldest and largest arts organizations in Kuwait, with concert records that go back to the 1950's. The currently independent organization holds performances across Kuwait.  Its aim is to provide opportunities and encourage active musicians and instrumentalists in Kuwait to perform as well as to take part in their choral works and operas. The bank has been supporting the AMG for four years as part of its investment in entities that contribute to the advancement of society and culture.

It is worth mentioning that Burgan Bank's support to this initiative falls under its full-fledged community program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ – Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural, social and health initiatives.  Burgan Bank’s approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the Kuwaiti society.
