Heritage Symphonies is a cultural foundation project founded in 2019 in Yemen, it aims to promote and disseminate folk music, by integrating it into an orchestral performance that combines folk music styles and traditional instruments with Western instruments.[1]
In addition to the music, the project showcases the performers with their distinctive cultural identity, represented by musical instruments, traditional rhythms, folk dance, and traditional dresses, in addition to presenting other cultural events accompanying the concert activities.[1]
In 2019, Mohamed Al-Ghoom performed an orchestral concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, titled "Hope from the depth of pain". He led an orchestra comprising 90 musicians, including 30 from Hadramout, who played on traditional Hadrami musical and percussion instruments while the other musicians were from China, India, Malaysia, Japan, and Uzbekistan.[2] [3]
On March 10, 2022, Mohamed led a second orchestral concert titled "Yemeni melody on the banks of the Nile" in Cairo, in which more than 120 musicians of different nationalities performed on the stage of the Grand Theater at the Egyptian Opera House, and eight musical pieces of traditional colors was presented in an orchestral format.[4] On October 2, 2023, a third orchestral concert titled "Yemeni tune in Paris" was held in France.
