The ‘Sounds of the UAE’ concert programme safeguards the musical traditions and heritage of the United Arab Emirates, through regular performances by Emirati musicians. It also encourages innovation in the Emirati music field and help young artists to build 
their careers.


The high-profile musical performances focus on tradition, theory and practice but can also combine with Emirati poems (Nabati poetry). The programmes also feature the successful ‘Memory of the Emirati Song’ series which is dedicated to reviving traditional popular melodies.


Since 2020, the ‘Sounds of the UAE’ programme has partnered with the Anghami music streaming service to enable a wider audience appreciation of traditional Emirati music.
