On three consecutive days, 23, 24 and 25 October the Cairo Symphony Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Ahmed Hamdy, gave its first concerts in a series of family-orientated events.

The orchestra performed A Midsummer Night's Dream, Felix Mendelssohn's composition for the Shakespeare play and was joined by the Per Poc Puppet Theatre, a Spanish company founded in 1989 with an aim to bring puppet theatre to a wider audience while intertwining it with other art forms.

The events were also joined by A Cappella Choir, soprano Dalia Farouk and mezzo soprano Amina Khairat

Bassam Al Zoghby captured the event with his camera.
