Last week’s KAUST’s Got Talent showcased our community’s diverse and impressive talents. The event, which took place in the KAUST Auditorium, was packed with an enthusiastic audience eager to see their friends and colleagues take to the stage.
With so much incredible talent on display, it was no easy feat for the audience to choose and vote for their favorites. Our special panel of judges, Selena Franchini, Michael Berumen, Moe Zein and Mascha Dix also had a tough time marking their scores. Moe Zein, a Lebanese recording artist born and raised in Jeddah, gave an exciting performance of two of his songs after serving his role as a judge.
Thanks to Belky and David Ketcheson for being wonderful hosts for the event and to the Red Sea String Ensemble for their beautiful performance.
It was an unforgettable night, and we congratulate all the winners!
