SUMMARY:Candlelight: Vivaldi's Four Seasons
DESCRIPTION:One of the most successful productions in the Candlelight Concerts series – “classical music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live music candlelit performances”.  The Vivaldi favourite was written as concerti for violin and orchestra\, but it’s often arranged for string quartet and this is what we’ll be getting here – the Candelabra string quartet\, “illuminated by thousands of candles”. \nThe programme also includes Karl Jenkins’ criminally underperformed Palladio suite\, which runs at around 20 minutes; with the Vivaldi clocking in at 40-45 or so\, this should give you slightly more than an hour of candlelit concert. There are performances at 7pm and 9pm. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Boogie Box Festival
DESCRIPTION:Boogie Box – the longest running House and Techno party series in the UAE\, probably the wider Gulf region\, and quite possibly in the whole Middle East – is celebrating its 13th birthday with a European-style all nighter. Hassan from Boogie Box says the lineup has been chosen to be representative of Boogie Box’s musical philosophy; the festival provides “a platform to artists and DJs to express themselves with longer sets and musical journeys … a high-calibre and creative show that incorporates mood over flash\, immersive over extreme\, and quality over quantity production”. \nSustainability is a key theme – “after all\, the only footprints we would like to see are the ones marked on the dancefloor” and a percentage of profits will be donated to a social responsibility initiative. \nThere are two stages for the 16-hours. Stage One will be geared towards Big Room Energy\, including international headliner DJ Boring\, the very excellent Levon Vincent\, and techno icon DJ Matrixxman. Stage Two promises a quirkier\, moodier and more diverse selection: Anthea\, Molly and Isolee (aka Rajko Mueller) – all fine picks. Both stages will be supported by a goodly collection of names from the regional scene: Angry Suzy\, Nesta\, Maks\, and Boogie Box residents Cyrill Reaidy\, Hani J\, Tristan Girault\, Shadi Megallaa\, and Boogie Box main man Hassan Alwan himself. \nThe Dunes will have the usual food and beverage options\, a vibrant marketplace\, and a camping area (the AED 125 early bird ticket includes a campsite space\, or you take on of the Dunes’ glamping options: AED 750 gets you an Igloo tent and two general admission tickets\, for instance). There are table packages from AED 4\,000; that gets you a table for four plus ‘VIP Backstage Tickets’ and some drinks (12 beers\, one wine\, one ‘bottle of premium spirit’). \nWhat’s not to like?

SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:Second and final performance for his highly recommended one-hander\, directed and performed by the Junction’s Gautam Goenka. As his mother battles chronic depression\, a child creates a list of every thing they can think of that makes life worth living. As the child grows\, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs\, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us. \nAt once intimate and interactive\, this touching\, funny\, and uplifting play (originally seen at the Junction earlier this year) chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. The Guardian called it “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. Written by the English playwright/director Duncan Macmillan with actor/writer/comedian Johnny Donahoe\, it sold out at three consecutive Edinburgh Festivals; it was also a big hit when the Junction did it in Dubai 18 months ago \n
