===Art=== [[File:Aleppomusic.jpg|thumb|Musicians from Aleppo, 18th century]] Aleppo is considered one of the main centres of Arabic traditional and classic music with the Aleppine ''[[Muwashshah]]s'', ''[[Qudud Halabiya]]'' and ''[[Arabic maqam|Maqams]]'' (religious, secular and folk poetic-musical genres). In December 2021, the Qudud Halabiya was included into the [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists|UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list]] as [[Intangible cultural heritage]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Al-Qudoud al-Halabiya |url=https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/al-qudoud-al-halabiya-01578 |publisher=UNESCO Culture Sector |access-date=2021-12-18 |archive-date=15 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215150323/https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/al-qudoud-al-halabiya-01578 |url-status=live }}</ref> Aleppines in general are fond of Arab classical music, the ''Tarab'', and it is not a surprise that many artists from Aleppo are considered pioneers among the Arabs in classic and traditional music.

Many iconic artists of the Arab music like [[Sayed Darwish]] and [[Mohammed Abdel Wahab]] were visiting Aleppo to recognize the legacy of Aleppine art and learn from its cultural heritage. Aleppo is also known for its knowledgeable and cultivated listeners, known as ''sammi'a'' or "connoisseur listeners".<ref>{{cite book |last=Racy |first=A.J. |title=Making Music in the Arab World: The Culture and Artistry of Tarab |year=2003 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |location=Cambridge, UK |isbn=978-0-521-31685-9 |page=248 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3-28hM3kdskC |access-date=25 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191029010339/https://books.google.com/books?id=3-28hM3kdskC |archive-date=29 October 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> Aleppine musicians often claim that no major Arab artist achieved fame without first earning the approval of the Aleppine ''sammi'a''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Shannon |first=Johnathan Holt |title=Among the Jasmine Trees: Music and Modernity in Contemporary Syria |url=https://archive.org/details/amongjasminetree00shan |url-access=registration |year=2006 |publisher=Wesleyan University Press |location=Middletown, CT |isbn=978-0-8195-6944-8}}</ref> Aleppo hosts many music shows and festivals every year at the citadel amphitheatre, such as the "Syrian Song Festival", the "Silk Road Festival" and "Khan al-Harir Festival".
