Description


BBC Proms Dubai 2019 continues on its third night with BEETHOVEN IX at Dubai Opera on Thursday 21 March 2019.

William Walton’s ravishingly beautiful Cello Concerto dates from the 1950s and precedes what will surely be one of the highlights of this 2019 BBC Dubai Proms, the premiere in Dubai of Beethoven’s great choral symphony (No.9).

Conducted by Richard Farnes and with a hand-picked quartet of British soloists, the BBC Singers and the newly-created Dubai Opera Festival Chorus, this concert is unmissable!

Now in its 124th season, the BBC Proms is a much-loved British tradition that aims to bring the best classical music to as wide an audience as possible.

Following the huge success of the inaugural BBC Dubai Proms in 2017 we are delighted this iconic Festival will return to Dubai Opera to be staged over four days from 19 to 22 March 2019.  

The audiences in 2017 were overwhelmingly enthusiastic and welcoming and host BBC Radio 3 presenter Petroc Trelawny will once again lead us through the five concerts of the 2019 BBC Dubai Proms towards the Last Night of the Proms – Dubai style.  

Alongside the main concerts of the BBC Dubai proms runs a wide-ranging programme of outreach and education activities including pre-concert talks, open rehearsals, chamber music coaching and a foyer performance with young musicians, masterclasses, a choral workshop with local Arabic school choirs and the creation of a new ensemble: the Dubai Opera Festival Chorus.  

We look forward to welcoming music lovers of all ages to engage with this programme – and maybe even perform with the DOFC! As in 2017, we are enormously grateful to the British Council for their support in making the learning programme possible.
