🎼✨ The Beginning – UAE National Orchestra Live at Dubai Opera ✨🎼
A historic symphonic premiere celebrating heritage, unity, and artistic pride

There will never be another night like this. The Beginning marks a powerful milestone in the UAE’s cultural journey as the UAE National Orchestra (UAENO) takes the stage for the very first time in its inaugural season at the iconic Dubai Opera. 🌍🎶

On Monday, 19 January, seventy musicians and thirty choral voices unite to present an unforgettable concert that celebrates Emirati heritage while embracing global musical traditions. This landmark evening premieres “The Beginning” – an Emirati Symphony, a world debut composed by Nadim Tarabay, blending traditional motifs with symphonic brilliance. More than a performance, it is a declaration of creative confidence and a moment of history shaped in sound. 🎻🇦🇪

The programme journeys across cultures and emotions, featuring Alexander Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor in an oriental orchestral arrangement, alongside evocative works by legendary composer and oud virtuoso Naseer Shamma. Audiences will also experience spellbinding pieces for oud and qanun, performed by acclaimed guest artists Naseer Shamma and Aytaç Doğan, under the masterful direction of conductor Amine Kouider. 🌟🎼

This concert reflects the mission of the UAE National Orchestra: to build a national orchestra rooted in Emirati musical heritage while connecting diverse communities and traditions from around the world. It is a celebration of unity, creativity, and the UAE’s growing presence on the global cultural stage.

With elegance, emotion, and orchestral grandeur, The Beginning promises an evening that will resonate long after the final note. Classical music lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and history-makers alike are invited to witness the start of something extraordinary. 🎶✨
