The opening ceremony of the three-day event is being organised by Kuwait's National Council for Culture, Arts and Literature at Abdulhussain Abdulredha Theatre in Salmiyah.
Day one hosted the Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental-Arabic Music, which was conducted by Andre El-Hage and featured the vocals of soloist Carla Ramia. (pickup previous) ns.sd
