SUMMARY:Naïssam Jalal and Hazem Shaheen
DESCRIPTION:A concert with flautist Naïssam Jalal and oudist Hazem Shaheen that brings together modern jazz and the classical Arabic tradition of improvised taqsim. Jalal has a storied career in collaborations across a variety of musical styles\, primarily in contemporary jazz but also with rap and recently in Indian music too; Shaheen is a noted Egyptian oud player\, singer\, and composer. The pair released their album Liqaa in 2018\, and their synergy suggests we will be in for an intimate and reflective evening of musical virtuosity.

SUMMARY:UAE National Orchestra: Abu Dhabi Festival
DESCRIPTION:Led by conductor François López-Ferrer\, recipient of the 2024 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award\, the UAE National Orchestra opens the Abu Dhabi Festival’s 2026 season with what looks like a super programme. It kicks off with Franz von Suppé’s Overture to Light Cavalry\, full of bracing fanfares and galloping rhythms and irresistible high spirits. Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No.2 should be a real contrast\, with classical lyricism and brooding passion – it’s also one for the virtuoso\, and the soloist here is the much-lauded Georgian pianist David Khrikuli. And the concert culminates in Dvořák’s Symphony No.8\, lyrical\, pastoral\, tuneful and ultimately optimistic.

SUMMARY:UAENO: Harmony
DESCRIPTION:A concert that suggests one of the reasons for the UAE National Orchestra’s formation – the conversation between Arabic and Western musical traditions\, delivered through classic Arabic and Western orchestral formations. It features the world premiere of Richard Dubugnon’s Double Concerto for Ney and Cello\, with soloists Rami Ourabi (ney) and Sary Khalifé (cello); we’re also promised oud master Naseer Shamma in a programme (otherwise unspecified) of “encounter\, exchange and discovery”.

SUMMARY:UAENO: Romantic Masters
DESCRIPTION:The UAE National Orchestra continues its active schedule with a good-looking programme of contrasting music from three great Romantic composers – lively melodies from Rossini in the overture to The Barber of Seville\, technical virtuosity and expressive range in Mendelssohn’s violin concerto (with Hungarian violinist Júlia Pusker making her UAENO debut as the soloist)\, and the richness of a full Brahms symphony. Umberto Clerici conducts. \nThe programme: \nRossini: Overture to The Barber of Seville\nMendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E Minor\nBrahms: Symphony No.2
