SUMMARY:Mary Gatchell
DESCRIPTION:Accolades like “accomplished singer/songwriter” and “talented musician” are bandied about all too easily; Mary Gatchell really does seem to deserve them. Here’s a partial CV: A graduate of NYU with a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Theory and Composition and a Master of Music degree in Instrumental Performance in Jazz Piano\, she has performed in small clubs and large stadiums\, in solo shows and with the groups that she’s in – like NYC’s premiere a cappella choir\, Ghostlight Chorus\, and the New Orleans southern funk bank Strangeland. \nShe’s a member of the Leon Lacey Orchestra of which she has been principal oboist; she’s also played principal oboe with the New York Chamber Players. Mary was the co-founder and artistic director of the Italian chamber music festival Siena Summer Music\, held from 2008 to 2016\,;and in 2023 her classical composition Paradiso Canto 33\, setting Dante’s text to music for a cappella choir\, was premiered in Siena. \nMary is a choreographer and musical director as well (for productions of West Side Story\, The Wiz\, Jesus Christ Superstar\, and Dreamgirls among others). She is currently a rehearsal pianist and substitute conductor for the Broadway hit\, Six The Musical. \nShe’s a music teacher too; she’s a visiting lecturer at NYU\, she has implemented a sustainable music curriculum for HIV-infected and impoverished children in Ethiopia\, and she has taught music to orphans with special needs in Bulgaria. \nAnd she’s a recording artist\, of course\, with seven albums of her original music plus three albums of hymns and spirituals\, a Christmas album\, and an album of jazz standards. \nMary’s imminent 13th album\, What’s My Name? Destiny\, sets music to a collection of love poems from such as Rabia of Basra\, Rumi\, Hafiz\, St Catherine of Siena\, and Farouk Henry. It’s this music that she will be performing at NYUAD. Especially given that tickets are complimentary\, this is a concert not to be missed …

SUMMARY:Bombino
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1980 in a nomadic Tuareg encampment just outside Agadez in Niger\, Bombino (born Goumour Almoctar\, also known as Oumara Moctar) came of age during much political upheaval\, fleeing with his family to Algeria by 1990\, and teaching himself guitar by watching videos of Jimi Hendrix\, Dire Straits\, Ali Farka Toure and Tinariwen. His performances showcase evocative rhythms\, captivating vocals\, and awe-inspiring guitar playing that led the New York Times calling him “the Sultan of Shred”. The first-ever artist from Niger to receive a Grammy nomination (Best World Music Album in 2018)\, Bombino manages to fuse traditional Berber rhythms with stunning rock n roll and songs about peace in the Sahel. A rare chance to see a rare talent.

SUMMARY:Arooj Aftab
DESCRIPTION:The uber-cool Pakistani-American singer (and songwriter\, and producer) brings her latest – and very good – album Night Reign to Dubai. It’s elegantly jazzy\, earning a 2024 Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Jazz Album (she didn’t win: it was a very strong year); the Wall Street Journal said “[Night Reign’s] beauty is self-evident\, and it stands on its own”. Recommended\, even if it looks a little pricey (but tickets to Zabeel Theatre concerts do buy you a 20% discount on F&B at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray\, which might help soften the blow).

SUMMARY:Max Richter
DESCRIPTION:Max Richter\, a leading figure in contemporary classical music and top film scores (and something of a favourite with Dubai audiences)\, is touring his latest studio album In a Landscape – field recordings from his travels and from around the rural studio where he recorded the album\, some of which have been lauded by critics as among the most beautiful pieces in his catalogue.
