Emirate composer Ihab Darwish will be wowing the crowd with his performance.
Abu Dhabi Festival adds yet another feather to its hat as another event has been added to its long and exciting list.
Under the theme, Crafting the Emirates State of Mind: Creation, Innovation and Joy, Abu Dhabi Festival will host the world premiere of Symphony of Three: Peace, Love, Tolerance by visionary Emirati composer Ihab Darwish, in collaboration with Emmy Award-winning composer John Debney and Academy Award-winning composer David Shire.
The best news? The show will be streamed on 30 December at 6pm local time via Abu Dhabi Festival’s YouTube channel.
The Beethoven Academy Orchestra, led by Maestro Diego Navarro, along with notable international composers, musicians, and choirs from diverse backgrounds, join hands for the extraordinary symphony, making it a living embodiment of the Emirati values of peace, tolerance, and coexistence.
Divided into three parts, the symphony opens with the prologue “Earth”, followed by the second movement “Peace,” composed by David Shire, an American songwriter and composer of stage musicals, film, and television scores since the early 1960s.
The third movement, “Love” was composed by John Debney, composer and one of the most prolific and successful composers in Hollywood.
The fourth and final movement “Tolerance” was composed by Emirati composer Ihab Darwish, a member of the prestigious Grammy Awards Academy who is also the first Emirati to be awarded this recognition by the Academy.
About 300 musicians from different nationalities and cultures will participate in the world premiere of the symphony. In addition to the oriental drumming troupe, the show includes a choir of about 250 singers.
