World Orchestra

Maestro Valery Gergiev will conduct the first-ever World Orchestra for Peace concert in the Arab world hosted by UNESCO Artists for Peace to a sold-out audience tonight. The musicians hail from 62 international orchestras and 30 countries. The concert is a homage to humanity throughout the world.

Songs to be performed tonight include Rossini’s William Tell Overture, Prokofiev’s Symphony No 1, and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. The event will be held at the Emirates Palace and is part of the Abu Dhabi Festival 2011 which will feature concerts and performances of acclaimed artists throughout the coming year. We wish we could snag a ticket… both to the concert and Abu Dhabi for the show!
