SUMMARY:Blind Symphony
DESCRIPTION:A concert with a difference – venue is absolutely dark\, and each audience member dons a light-blocking mask. The idea of course is that without visual perception your full attention is on the sound: “the most subtle musical nuances\, delicate vibrations\, and inner rhythms become clearer and more intense\,” as the blurb puts it. “Even familiar compositions reveal themselves in a new\, deeper\, and more powerful way under these conditions.” \nThe programme features works by JS Bach\, Arvo Pärt\, Philip Glass\, Max Richter\, and Ludovico Einaudi. It’s performed by a chamber ensemble (we don’t know exactly who) “enriched with rare instruments collected from different cultures around the world”.

SUMMARY:UAENO: To This Land\, We Belong
DESCRIPTION:The UAE National Orchestra kicks off its second season with the World Premiere of three new Emirati compositions in a concert programme that invites audiences into a musical journey through the UAE from its founding story and landscapes to the traditions\, memories and ideas that continue to shape the country today. \nEach of the three composers has approached that story differently. The Founder’s Journey by Khalid Nassir opens the programme; a six-part work inspired by the journey and philosophy of the UAE’s Founding Father. Ali Kano turns to the landscapes and musical traditions of the Emirates with his Homeland Melodies concerto\, bringing oriental instruments into conversation with the Orchestra. The third work\, by Fayez Al Saeed\, brings Orchestra\, Choir and poetry togethe; featuring the poem Lightning\, Thunder & Longing by Arif Al Khajah\, the piece moves between memory and the present\, tracing how identity and belonging are carried forward through time. \nAhmed Farag conducts the full UAE National Orchestra and Choir. The concert is repeated in Dubai on 20 September.

SUMMARY:Mozart’s Greatest
DESCRIPTION:You can’t fault the UAENO’s ambition in naming this programme – the title almost precludes discussion. It includes three admittedly classic works\, but there must surely have been a strong case for others (we’d have gone for the Symphony No.41 ‘Jupiter’ as one of the greatest). Still\, it is a strong programme that highlights Mozart’s versatility as well as his technical skills\, ranging from the often dark intensity of the opener through virtuosity and musical brilliance to the dramatic intensity and emotional depth of Symphony No.40. \nAhmed Farag conducts the UAE National Orchestra\, with the Serbian pianist Nenad Ivović the soloist for the Piano Concerto. \nThe programme: \nOverture from Don Giovanni\, K.527\nPiano Concerto No.21 in C Major\, K. 467\nSymphony No.40 in G minor\, K.550
