On the grounds of the circular theater in Tishreen Park and as part of the Art Gardens event, violinist and maestro Hadi Parsley and the Khums band for Arabic music presented a musical evening during which the attendees enjoyed the uniqueness of the violin and the oriental melodies presented by the five.

And in a statement to Sana Cultural between Parsley, the Khumsy Band of Arab Music presents traditional instrumentals and popular popular songs with the aim of bringing people closer, pointing out that the wave of popular singing does not mean the death of heritage because the audience is diverse and there are those related to heritage and authentic art and choose the beautiful. Tastes are diverse and the evenings that Dar The Opera and the Directorate of Theaters and Music have a distinguished presence and a qualitative audience.

Director of Theaters and Music Imad Jalloul explained that the art gardens project set up by the Ministry of Culture in all governorates was a successful initiative because the activities varied between theater, children's shows and music and were held in towns that did not host similar events for a long time, such as Arbin in Eastern Ghouta, explaining that next week is the last after that. School season has come.

Jalloul described the public's good interaction with these shows, and the interest was great from the local administration institutions in the governorates by providing facilities and logistical support for the shows, indicating that the plan for the next year will increase logistical support and avoid the pitfalls that appeared in the first season of this project.

It is noteworthy that Maestro Hadi Parsley, born in Damascus and a graduate of the Arab Institute of Music, joined the Syrian Artists Syndicate in 1977, a solo player on Syrian Radio and Television in 1986, and founder and leader of the Stars Playing Ensemble and the Quintet Ensemble for Arab Music in 1996, which presents the Arab musical heritage.
