The recurring SoundStorm festival, for example, is a beacon to the world that music performances are here to stay, but are not the sole representation of them, and certainly not the last ones. Just this December, world-renowned artists Muse, Eminem and 30 Seconds to Mars are set to perform in Riyadh. \u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>It\u2019s not just them: a wide variety of performances are set to take place in Riyadh in the near and far future. And not just in as large a scale, either. If you prefer a more grounded and more convenient experience, you\u2019ll be happy to know that Antara hosts music events on a regular basis, open to all residents. You\u2019ll get to discover new music while socializing with your neighbors, close to home.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>You might, however, prefer to perform rather than spectate. Whether you\u2019re the type of person that plays music to relax or if you have aspirations to pour your own soul into music, Antara is more than up to support your calling.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Apart from being able to play your instrument and practice at your Antara home while being respectful of your neighbors\u2019 privacy and Antara\u2019s quiet hours. From a simple harmonica or a kazoo to a piano, if your Antara home can fit it, you can play to your heart\u2019s content. Just make sure that if it\u2019s indeed a piano, you choose one of the larger homes as to maintain its open, cozy spaces undisturbed. And if you want to go all out or form an up and coming band with your Antara neighbors, Antara has dedicated spaces for you to jam all day long if you have the will and the time!\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>For the past few years, Saudi Arabia is moving forward into new melodic horizons. This would be the perfect time for you to contribute your own notes into this melody, or simply to sit back and experience it for yourself. Either way, you will want to be there for this.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a fan of music or a musician, either an amateur or a professional one, your days in Riyadh hold much promise of unforgettable moments.
