Website summary: TCA Abu Dhabi is aspiring through its Music Programme to revive the incredibly rich dialogue that music has always engaged not only inside the Muslim world, but also between Islam and other cultures or religions. TCA Abu Dhabi is therefore focusing, through its Abu Dhabi Classics Programme, on bringing to the Emirate some of the main artists in the field of Arabic and Western classical music, aiming at the same time to display how borderlines between the so called “Western”, “Arabic” and “Local” classical music have become porous. At the same time, TCA Abu Dhabi is offering an extended programme dedicated to regional heritage music thus proposing a unique musical panorama for all listeners. For this season, the programme is bringing to the Emirate some of the leading contemporary artists in the field of Arabic and Western classical music. This year’s Abu Dhabi Classics programme is themed ‘One Thousand and One Nights’ with a rich programme of emotions and dreams deeply rooted in the imaginary of the Middle East. 1 052
