Festival Academy – Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City

About this event

Festival Academy launches a new learning programme for student musicians and dancers in the UAE. Talented students compete for places in the 2026 cohort, then participate in music and dance intensives, open rehearsals, masterclasses, and performances with Festival artists. Running from 19 October to 29 November 2026, the programme is an education and performance platform rather than a single staged production. The page lists one public-facing concert: the Abu Dhabi Festival Youth Orchestras on 23 October 2026 at The Blue Hall, The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi. The page does not publish repertoire, conductor, instructors, or individual performers.
