For its very first edition, Zamalek Music Week has brought all the colours of the musical spectrum under one roof at Zamalek Theater. “This year, Zamalek Theater is witnessing its first anniversary after putting together over 80 concerts of all sorts of genres, which is why we decided to create a new concept that isn’t like any regular performance,” shared Mostafa Sabry, Zamalek Theater’s Manager.
For the first time in Egypt, we’re presenting all genres within a week to feature seven performances, as well as a closing night… After Ramadan, we look forward to hosting even bigger events that feature both local artists and international acts,” Sabry added.
