MUSCAT: The second round of the Oman Chanting Festival will be held in the Wilayat of Nizwa, Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, from October 18 to 21.
The festival’s opening ceremony will be held under the auspices of Shaikh Abdulmalik bin Abdullah al Khalili, Chairman of the State Council.
Earlier, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth had announced the 8 vocalists who qualified for the second edition of Oman Chanting Festival (from among 39 initial participants) following a strict selection process.
The first round of Oman Chanting Festival was held more than 10 years ago, in the Wilayat of Nizwa, from October 20 to 21, 2015. The festival seeks to foster Omani talent in the field of chanting and provide an artistic podium for performers to showcase their abilities to the public.
This year, the second round of the Oman Chanting Festival gains insights from the first round. It presses ahead with steps to furnish an artistic landscape that shows significant evolution in performance styles, production techniques and audience engagement. - ONA
