The UAE National Orchestra has launched Tashyeed, its inaugural programme focused on nurturing Emirati orchestral musicians. Announced in Abu Dhabi, this 13-month part-time initiative aims to train 17 musicians through structured mentorship, workshops, and direct participation in rehearsals. The name Tashyeed, derived from the Arabic word for 'to build,' reflects the orchestra's commitment to fostering local talent and enhancing the UAE's cultural landscape. Sheikha Alia bint Khalid Al Qassimi, Managing Director of the orchestra, emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for Emirati musicians within a professional setting. Unlike conventional training, Tashyeed immerses participants in real orchestral environments, providing them with the discipline and standards needed for professional performance.
