SUMMARY:Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The second weekend of performances for “the most exciting musical of its generation” (The Times). \nFirst seen in 1975 and still an all-round stunner\, it is based on a 1926 play by one-time reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins and is built around actual crimes on which she reported; the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse paints a tantalising tale of passion\, murder\, greed\, betrayal\, and redemption through the journey of two fiercely competitive women – aspiring jazz performer Roxie Hart and former vaudevillian (and double-murderess) Velma Kelly. John Kander and Fred Ebb were responsible for the score\, with each song modelled on a traditional vaudeville number or a vaudeville performer – a format that helped to make explicit the show’s comparison between justice\, showbiz\, and contemporary society. \nPerformances: \n19 September 7pm\n20 September 7pm\n21 September 1pm\n21 September 7pm\n22 September 1pm\n22 September 6pm \nThere are the door-open times; we’d guess the actual performances start an hour later. Ticket prices are higher for weekend shows

SUMMARY:Sarah Alagroobi: Slanted Dreamscape
DESCRIPTION:Alagroobi’s evocative\, highly textured landscapes provide a glimpse into “a world where reality and imagination intersect”. Her practice celebrates the physical and metaphysical\, using layers of acrylic to sculpt imagined landscapes that blur the boundaries between the tangible and the abstract; the gallery says her paintings “offer a direct and unfiltered representation of her artistic process\, presenting depth and surface in their most authentic forms”. To 27 October.

SUMMARY:Gaye Su Akyol | TootArd
DESCRIPTION:Classic Arts Center programming for this End of Summer Dance Party in the Black Box theatre – a genre-defying concert that puts two very different kinds of artist in each half. From Gaye Su Akyol you get an innovative mix of Turkish psychedelia and folk song\, surf music and 90s Western rock; TootArd\, a genre-fluid duo comprising brothers Hasan and Rami Nakhleh\, presents a fusion of global pop hooks and quarter-tone melodic lines to deliver a distinctive blend of disco and dance music that draws inspiration from the rich musical traditions of SWANA (SouthWest Asia\, North Africa) and beyond. \nThere are two performances: on 19 September Gaye Su Akyol (above) performs first\, on 20 September it’s TootArd.

SUMMARY:The UAE Classical Talents: A Night with Vivaldi
DESCRIPTION:The fifth season of the UAE Classical Talents\, a programme of chamber music concerts aimed at promoting local artists\, opens with a programme of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and his ‘La Folia’ (Vivaldi take on the well-known folk tune was written as a theme and 19 variations\, instantly recognisable and very listenable). The Four Seasons concerti was originally scored for violin and orchestra\, but it’s often arranged for string quartet and this is what we’ll be getting here – the players are the Gulf Strings\, led by Klaudia Olborska-Szymanska (violin) with Anna Pavlova (violin)\, Rebecca Saxby (viola) and Rumania Gavadinova (cello). They will perform the full Four Seasons violin concertos\, as well as “La Folia”\, an early work of “the Red Priest” as Vivaldi was also nicknamed.\n(The price here is for non-members; AF members pay AED 110.) \n
