The ‘Andalusia: History and Civilization’ Initiative Committee will organize the much awaited

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.

His Excellency 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 Civilization’ Initiative. It
celebrates the legacy of a long-standing Andalusian civilization 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 civilization 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 as 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
