SUMMARY:Candlelight: Beethoven's Best Works
DESCRIPTION:The title of this concert certainly sets the bar high\, though it seems a pretty good selection of the composer’s works for piano. The pianist is Magdalena Wajdzik\, and the other plus is the way these recitals are lit by candlelight. The programme: \n♦ “Für Elise” (Bagatelle no.25 in A minor)\n♦ Piano Sonata No.21 op.31 (Waldsten)\n♦ Piano Sonata op.13 ‘Pathetique’\n♦ Piano Sonata op. 27 No.2 (Moonlight)\n♦ Symphony No.5 (transcription for solo piano by Liszt) 1st Movement

SUMMARY:Star Wars: A New Hope dir George Lucas (1977)
DESCRIPTION:The first\, and arguably the best – if only because of the impact of the opening titles. Universally acknowledged as a landmark in action films and featuring Mark Hamill\, Harrison Ford\, and Carrie Fisher in their prime (plus Alec Guinness to lend gravitas and Peter Mayhew in the Chewbacca suit). Unmissable.

SUMMARY:Sohni Mahiwal
DESCRIPTION:The second and final performance of this epic love story\, timed for the Independence Day weekend of India and Pakistan. Sohni Mahiwal (or Suhni Mehar) is a long-established tragic romance from Sindh and Punjab\, dating back to the 10th century and regularly reworked in song\, theatre and film. The heroine Sohni\, unhappily married to a man she despises (usually depicted as a maker of pottery)\, swims every night across the river to her lover Mahiwal – whose name means ‘buffalo herder’ because he does indeed look after a herd buffaloes. The river is fierce and she uses an earthenware pot as a buoyancy aid; but her sister in law learns of the relationship and replaces it with a vessel of unbaked clay which dissolves in the water … \nThe production includes live music and creative storytelling in exploring themes of love\, sacrifice and tragedy in the face of social disapproval. It’s a collaboration between Behind the Mask Productions\, Tall Tales Productions\, and the Junction; the director\, Alishan Bin Sohail\, promises that “our talented cast and creative team\, combined with our commitment to producing a high-quality production\, make us confident that this play will resonate with audiences and provide an important perspective on the impact of natural disasters on love and relationships”. \nThe show is primarily in Urdu/Hindi\, but there are English subtitles.

SUMMARY:Women Expressions
DESCRIPTION:A group show that “celebrates the unifying spirit of art\, showcasing how these talented artists from different parts of the world have found common ground through their creativity and unique expressions” … which sounds like a somewhat vaporous theme. Hopefully the “eclectic mix of styles\, techniques\, and cultural perspectives” will merit the trip to the gallery; artists on show include Annalu’\, Serero Pop Art\, Valerie Breuleux\, Youn Kyoung Cho\, Roberta Diazzi\, Isabelle Scheltjens and Yana Rusnak\, To 31 August.

SUMMARY:Victor Sitali: African Hues
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition for the Zambian (but Dubai-based) artist in the hotel’s lobby (why don’t more hotels do this?) that promises “a wide range of bold artistic styles\, mediums\, and themes”. Sitali says he takes inspiration from” the colourful nature of Africa’s vegetation\, and the beautiful colours of African fabrics in my country Zambia. Mostly worn by women\, the popular and respectable clothing called “Chitenge” is a strong theme in my collection …” To 31 August.

SUMMARY:In the Heart of Another Country: the Diasporic Imagination Rises
DESCRIPTION:Originally shown at Deichtorhallen Hamburg\, this exhibition exploring the concept of home has been expanded for its Sharjah Art Foundation visit with the addition of recent acquisitions and newly restored works of art from the Foundation’s own collection. \nThe exhibition examines how mobility across space and time has shaped and contoured the frame of global art today. More than 150 works by over 60 artists will be on view\, including works by Etel Adnan\, Rasheed Araeen\, Huguette Caland\, Tiffany Chung\, Meschac Gaba\, David Koloane and Kamala Ibrahim Ishag. All the artists in the show have traversed migratory routes from South and West Asia\, through Africa and the Caribbean\, and many now live far from where they first believed that they belonged. \nOrganised in collaboration with Deichtorhallen Hamburg\, the exhibition is curated by Dr Omar Kholeif\, Sharjah Art Foundation’s Director of Collections and Senior Curator. \nTo 24 September. \nAbove: Etel Adnan\, Mount Tamalpaïs (2015)

SUMMARY:Van Gogh x Japan The Immersive Experience
DESCRIPTION:Van Gogh’s love for Japanese art ran deep: he admired the way Japanese artists lived in harmony with nature and the complete focus on their work\, and he aspired to do the same. Although he only discovered Japan in the latter years of his short life\, the results profoundly shaped his art and significantly influenced many of the works we now regard as his greatest masterpieces – especially in his use of exuberant colour. As he wrote to his brother: “we wouldn’t be able to study Japanese art … without becoming much happier and more cheerful”. \nThis show applies the 360° ToDA experience to the story – giant hi-res visuals\, surround-sound audio. Your ticket buys you a timed one-hour session between 10am and 11pm between 14 July and 31 August (adults AED 110\, children 3-11 AED 59\, and yes adulthood starts at age 12). Also available are family and group rates\, plus ‘bundle’ tickets that include an Ikebana masterclass\, a tea ceremony\, or a Haiku masterclass.

SUMMARY:Chopin's Best Works
DESCRIPTION:Chopin favourites by Candlelight\, a recital for solo piano by Aldo Dotto. These concerts are “a series of classical music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live candlelit music performances … by creating intimate experiences where fans can connect directly with their favourite artists”. The specific plus is illumination by thousands of candles\, with a programme that does indeed look quite inviting (even if “best” does set the bar rather high): \n\nNocturnes op.9 n.2\nNocturne in C sharp minor\nPolonaise op.44\nPrelude op.28 n.4\nPrelude op.28 n.15 ‘Raindrop’\nFantaisie-Impromptu op.66\nValse op.64 n.2\nValse op.69 n.1\nScherzo op.31 n.2\n\nThere are performances at 7.30pm and 9.30pm.

SUMMARY:A Summer Allegory
DESCRIPTION:A group exhibition with a seasonal theme: “summer is when all positive feelings surface allowing for a better appreciation of everything we do\,” says the curatorial statement. “A Summer Allegory aims to encompass this summer’s glamour through a selection of artists\, forms and subject matter”. \nThe artists: \nRichard Ketley – a South African based between Dubai and Johannesburg whose abstracts reflect his extensive: “I find meaning where others do not – in the fall of light on a sandy building in Riyadh\, the chaos of the shacks of Kampala\, the crowded taxi parks of Johannesburg …” \nSolimar Miller – a 25-year resident of the UAE who specialises in silkscreen works that highlight the unique qualities of the indigenous flora. \nElisabeth Dorazio – the Brazilian artist\, currently a Dubai resident\, has an impressively large body of work in different techniques and materials. “Her use of shifting and fragmented surfaces alludes to the existential and unstable nature of humanity and the natural world\,” says the gallery. \nColleen Quigley – a Japanese-American artist based in Tucson\, her practice encompasses a broad range of media including sculpture\, installation\, painting\, encaustic\, and digital fabrication on themes of materiality\, perception\, memory and place\, and the transcultural flow of objects. \nTo 7 September. \nAbove: Elisabeth Dorazio\, Untitled (from the On Nature series\, 2019)

SUMMARY:Urinetown
DESCRIPTION:Final performance for this satirical musical by SPAA students; the story is set in a dystopian future\, where a chronic water shortage means that public loos have been extravagantly privatised. The plot hinges on a rebellion led by a cleaner who takes hostage the daughter of the convenience business’s Mr Big to spark a rebellion. The original had an engaging self-referential tone that parodies the genre (“dreams only come true in happy musicals” says one of the characters).
