This week, we're honored to welcome Tala Badri, founder of Dubai's Centre for Musical Arts (CMA), which is making music education more accessible than ever in its landmark twentieth season. With increased focus on mental health and cultural enrichment in the UAE, there is no art form more guaranteed to bring people together in a healthy and healing way than music.

Tala joins the show to discuss how music and the work at her Centre can soothe and stimulate, and we explore why the arts are thriving here while facing so many challenges elsewhere.
