Burgan Bank Supports Music and Arts by Joining Forces With Ahmadi Music Group’s Season Performances

Burgan Bank, one of the leading financial institutions contributing to the societal progress, continues to promote one of Kuwait’s most prestigious music and arts organizations, Ahmadi Music Group. As a devoted supporter of social and cultural advancement in Kuwait, Burgan Bank continues as lead sponsor of the popular long-standing music group for the fourth consecutive year.

Ahmadi Music Group’s many performances are considered one of the fastest growing and highly regarded artistic and musical experiences in Kuwait. Performing with the highest musical standards, the Ahmadi Music Group, operational locally and internationally for more than 65 years, conducts concerts and performances on globally famed platforms. Making its mark locally, the Group has contributed to the artistic and cultural life of Kuwait through its performances both choral works and fully-staged opera. It is worth noting since the start of 2017, Burgan Bank supported the creation of a youth orchestra and sponsored the first ever classical music performance by Ahmadi Music Group at Jaber Al Ahmed Cultural Center which brought together young local and international musicians for two complete symphonies by Beethoven and Faure, establishing a momentous occasion in Kuwait and bringing out the best of what classical music has to offer.

Loulwa Abdulla Al-Ayoubi, Acting Group Head of Investor & Corporate Communications, Burgan Bank said: “We are firm believers in art and culture as powerful means to improve community experiences, enrich lives and create an overall positive impact in society. Music brings people together, promoting diversity and inclusion. By supporting world-class artists, we are also encouraging Kuwait’s youth to embrace art and develop artistic talent, enabling their empowerment and the elevation of Kuwait’s artistic standing abroad.’’

Mr. Richard Bushman, Director of Ahmadi Music Group said: “We would like to thank Burgan Bank for its unwavering support over the years. Kuwait has a thriving and creative pool of promising young talents that we are eagerly tapping into. With the bank’s contribution, we are able to continue exploring and nurturing new talent and elevate our artistic offering”.

Burgan Bank's support of this initiative falls under its dynamic 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 and health driven initiatives. Burgan Bank’s approach to 'ENGAGE' begins with a vital principle that as a leading Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the community.
