The 15th edition of the Abu Dhabi Festival is well underway, with an exciting program of events, productions, and performances. Held under the patronage of E. Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, UAE Minister of Tolerance, Abu Dhabi Festival 2018 (ADF18) hosts more than 100 events, 26 productions, one co-production, and 16 commissions, all across 30 venues.
Presenting more than 500 international artists from 30 different countries, and featuring masterpieces by more than 40 composers, Abu Dhabi Festival 2018’s headline programme includes performances by the eminent Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia – Rome helmed by one of Europe’s most dynamic conductors, Sir Antonio Pappano and joined by pianist Beatrice Rana and violinist Kyung Wha Chung; the world premiere of Emirati composer Ihab Darwish ‘Waves of my Life’ performed by Beethoven Academy Orchestra conducted by Stoyan Stoyanov and a host of other stars; internationally-recognised soprano Deborah Voigt accompanied by beloved Lebanese tenor Bechara Moufarrej; the Sinatra of the Middle East – Palestinian singer Omar Kamal with a night of jazz, swing and Arabic classics; a concert of global music and glamour with Pink Martini; an immersive multimedia experience in Pianographique – two pianists performing works by Philip Glass, Steve Reich and Maurice Ravel, accompanied with live visualisations by Ars Electronica; A classical Indian dance interpretation of the work of Rumi in We the Living by Tanusree Shankar Dance Academy; The Sarod Master USTAD Amjad Ali Khan makes his Abu Dhabi Festival Debut; an epic evening of pinao concertors for two, three and four pianos with The Bach Project; and, to conclude the Festival, Compañía Nacional de Danza make their Arab World Debut with Don Quixote.
The Country of Honour for 2018 is India, reflecting on the historic ties between the UAE and the subcontinent – ties expressed through a long tradition of cultural exchange. The Festival will be welcoming artists from India across visual arts, film, theatre, music and dance, allowing audiences to explore the depth and diversity of contemporary Indian culture.
The theme for the Festival this year is ‘Year of Zayed’. The Festival will join the nation in celebration, marking 100 years since the birth of our founding Father and reflecting on the qualities he instilled – qualities that have made the UAE prosperous today: Tolerance, Respect and Enlightenment.
