Bahrain registers National Philharmonic Orchestra as private institution
Bahrain has established its first national philharmonic orchestra, following an official decision published this week by the country's cultural authority. Under a decision by Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, President of the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (BACA), the Bahrain Philharmonic Orchestra has been registered as a private cultural institution. The orchestra, created by Bahraini maestro Mubarak Najem, will be based in Isa Town and carry out its cultural role independently. Its starting fund is BD2,000, held with a local bank, though there is no limit on its financial scope. According to its founding documents, the orchestra plans to use music as a way to bring communities closer, encourage dialogue, and promote understanding. It aims to support local talent, hold regular performances and provide work opportunities for Bahraini musicians and composers. The organisation will be run by a five-member Board of Trustees chosen by the founder. The board will manage operations, finances and general direction, meeting at least four times a year. Urgent matters may be dealt with by the chair, as long as the full board reviews them afterwards.
