The Faculty of Al-Alsun choral team at Ain Shams University won first place during the activities of the 2023/2024 Grand Competition for Music and Chorales, organized by the General Administration of Youth Care at the University, under the patronage of Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El-Abedeen, President of the University, Prof. Ghada Farouk, Vice President of the University for Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs.
In the presence of Prof. Salwa Rashad, Dean of the Faculty, the Faculty's choral team and the playing team presented a distinguished performance in front of the competition's jury under the administrative supervision and general coordination of Mr. Ibrahim Saeed Hamza, Assistant Secretary-General of the University for the Education and Students Sector.
The jury also announced that the Faculty of Al-Alsun won first place for solo playing, and the group playing team won second place at the level of the university's faculties.
In her speech, Prof. Salwa Rashad, Dean of the Faculty, extended her sincere thanks to the students of the Faculty for their distinguished participation in the competition activities, and stressed that life in general has always been linked to the cultural conscience formed by the arts, and perhaps the sons of the great Pharaonic civilization realize the importance of the arts in general and blend their lives with pieces that were played seven thousand years ago that dazzled the world when they were played during the magnificent mummies' ceremony organized by our country.
The administration of Ain Shams University realizes the importance of nurturing and developing talents in various types of arts to shape the conscience of our students before they graduate, in parallel with the educational process to form a flexible and open personality in a manner appropriate to Egyptian society.
The prestigious Faculty of Languages, which is a pioneer in the Middle East and the world in transferring global cultures to form a cultural gateway through which the culture of peoples passes, is keen to care for and support its students, especially since music and playing are an integral part of cultures and civilizations.
