A Grand Choir Event 

Imagine a choir of epic proportions, bringing worlds together: the Dubai Opera House Scratch Concert.
‘Scratch’ concerts, immensely popular all around the globe, combine a love for making music with present-day pace of life: starting ‘from scratch’, a random group of music lovers rehearse and perform a music programme in the course of only one day or weekend. Choir members do not know each other beforehand, but rehearsals and the music itself bring them together in no time. As a preliminary, free downloads of music scores and voice files are available to all participants.

Spirited and encouraged by a Dutch Director who stands out with this formula, the choir members give a surprisingly high quality performance at the end of the day.
Dubai Opera House Scratch Concert will offer a unique opportunity for up to 800 men and women to take part in a Project Choir and perform in a very high quality concert at a grand venue.

The Project Choir base are a group of 16 professional choir singers and the Promenade Orchestra from The Netherlands, together with soloists (subject to repertoire of choice).

Sounds of Arabia 

Enjoy an evening with the  intense crossover of Classical  and Arabic music, performed by ruling Queen of Arabic

Sounds Soprano Baidar  Albasri, and Dutch Promenade Orchestra.
The Dutch Promenade Orchestra is a modern orchestra which has proved to be of outstanding quality, performing Arabic and Western classical music. Conductor and Events Manager Martin van der Brugge will make arrangements for the Dutch Promenade Orchestra to perform a wonderful choice of repertoire from classical composers, as well as highlights from Arabic songs and compositions.

Baidar Albasri, most appreciated for her unique  interpretation of Arabic sound and authentic  performance, will star in this heart-warming concert.
