ABU DHABI, 4th October, 2023 (WAM) -- The 'Andalusia: History and Civilisation'
Initiative Committee will organise the much-awaited 'Cordoba Nights' concert on 8th
October, 2023, at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, marking the beginning of an exciting
lineup of art and music events. The series of events, which will take place in Abu Dhabi
over the coming months, celebrate the rich, diverse, and original artistic heritage of
Andalusia.

Dr. Abdulla Al Raisi, Cultural Adviser at the UAE Presidential Court, said, "This concert
is part of a series of events launched by the 'Andalusia: History and Civilisation'
Initiative. It celebrates the legacy of a long-standing Andalusian civilisation that has
made significant contributions to the revival of science, culture, literature, and arts.
Through the 'Cordoba Nights' concert, we will witness the harmonious fusion of Spanish
and Arabic music in Abu Dhabi. This musical program provides a platform to celebrate
the richness, diversity, and uniqueness of Andalusian arts while highlighting the
importance of art as a language that unites people and cultures. Inspired by the Arab
civilisation in Andalusia, this initiative serves as a beacon of cultural and intellectual
significance."

'Cordoba Nights' will feature a symphony orchestra performance, showcasing the
enchanting Spanish Andalusian Symphonies. The concert will be conducted by the
world-renowned Spanish conductor, Inma Shara, who will lead a 50-player orchestra.
Shara is considered one of the brightest modern orchestra conductors, having
previously led prestigious orchestras such as the Spanish Orchestra, London
Philharmonic Orchestra, Russian National Orchestra, and the Rome Symphony
Orchestra. Her contributions to classical music have earned her prestigious accolades,
including the 'Spain Brand Honorary Ambassador' award and the 'European Excellence
Prize' for her international contributions to the world of music. Shara also received
several prestigious scientific awards, such as the 'Honorary Ambassador of Spain to the
Brand' Award and the European Excellence Award.

Shara said, "I am pleased to be part of this significant event, which marks a milestone in
my career and fosters cultural unity through music. I eagerly look forward to sharing my
music with the esteemed audience and I am grateful for this special invitation. My
sincere and heartfelt thanks to the organisers for their confidence in my participation in
this remarkable event."
