<h3 style="line-height: 2;">UAE's very own orchestra is transforming the Classical Music scene after its reopening in the UAE under the talented baton of conductor Nicolas Mann.</h3>
&nbsp;
As the UAE&rsquo;s only resident orchestra, the Philharmonic Orchestra has redefined classical music with its dynamic, educational performances that prove classics are anything but boring. With its debut season in September 2024 with Baroque &amp; Beyond, the orchestra has since showcased timeless masterpieces from Haydn's symphonic tales of farewell to Mozart&rsquo;s overflowing classical charm and Salieri&rsquo;s vibrant journey through Venice at the Theatre of Digital Art (ToDA), located in Souk Madinat Jumeirah.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 2;">After a 12-year long hiatus, the return of the Philharminic Orchestra has seen gracious support.</h3>
&nbsp;
With the diverse musicians and celebrity conductors, such as Yuri Medianik, featured in their year round seasons, the shows are bridging Eastern and Western traditions alongside collaborating with local artists and offering educational programs. All this takes place in TODA&rsquo;s immersive space, where mesmerizing 360-degree visuals amplify every note, creating a sensory experience unlike any other.

&nbsp;
<h3 style="line-height: 2;">Nicolas Mann, chief conductor and artistic director, explains the vision behind the orchestra saying &ldquo;We wanted to create a lasting institution that reflects the UAE's rich cultural diversity through music.&rdquo;&nbsp;</h3>
&nbsp;
"The inspiration came from the desire to build something lasting and meaningful within the UAE's artistic landscape. While the UAE is a melting pot of diverse cultures, it lacked a permanent orchestral institution to reflect this diversity through music. We set out to create a world-class orchestra rooted in the UAE, while speaking the universal language of classical music."&nbsp;
