European Union Youth Orchestra to perform at Dubai Opera
The famed European Union Youth Orchestra is gearing up to perform in the UAE. Under the guidance of conductor Vasily Petrenko, who was named Male Artist of the Year at the Classical Brit Awards, the group will perform at the Dubai Opera from April 12-13, 2018.
The show’s programme includes Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No 2.
Tickets for the performance, which has enjoyed success in the form of soldout concerts in 43 countries, 177 cities and 224 venues, are now availble and start at Dh250.
Jasper Hope, chief executive at Dubai Opera, said: “These concerts by the European Union Youth Orchestra next April are a fantastic opportunity for UAE audiences to hear an outstanding ensemble perform two wonderful programmes and, thanks to a series of educational workshops we’ll be running alongside the shows, also a once-in-a-lifetime chance for young musicians in the UAE to gain invaluable skills and expertise through cultural exchange with some of Europe’s musical stars of the future.”
Marshall Marcus, chief executive of the European Union Youth Orchestra said: “It is a great honour to represent the 28 nations of the European Union in a major education residency and performances at Dubai Opera, the stunningly impressive new addition to the UAE’s cultural scene.”
