Abu Dhabi Festival is the time and the place where the year’s work is shared, where new encounters are orchestrated and new ideas are forged, where long-trusted partners visit, new collaborations shape, and where artists and audiences connect.
Commission, produce, preserve and present the greatest music and art experiences in the UAE and beyond
Nurture invaluable cultural dialogue based on mutual respect and understanding to build a more peaceful future through the arts
