Join the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra (QPO) and Maestro Pablo Mielgo for an evening that journeys from lyricism and elegance to symphonic revolution. The concert opens with Brahms’ radiant Variations on a Theme by Haydn, a masterpiece of orchestral color. QPO’s oboist German Díaz Blanco then takes center stage in Richard Strauss’ Concerto for Oboe in D major, a virtuosic and poetic work that is hued with late-Romantic warmth. After the intermission, the orchestra turns to one of the defining works in music history, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica.” Bold and expansive, the “Eroica” reshaped what a symphony could be.

‘What would the classical masterpieces sound like if their composers had lived in the Arab world, immersed in maqams, quarter tones, and intricate Arabic rhythms?’
Arabesque is a novel concept in which Ghady Rahbani and Omar Rahbany delve into the richness of Arabic music within the framework of the classical orchestral setup. Accompanied by the world-class Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, this two-act performance, lasting approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, reimagines the dialogue between Eastern and Western musical traditions.

Immerse yourself in a rich evening of Richard Strauss with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Elias Grandy. The program opens with Strauss’ symphonic tone poem Don Quixote. Cellist Daniel Müller-Schott and QPO’s violist Giovanni Pasini bring the story to life as the voices of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, tracing their comic adventures and moments of touching lyricism.
After the intermission, the orchestra continues its Strauss journey with the impassioned Don Juan, a whirlwind of exuberance and tragedy, followed by the sumptuous Suite from Der Rosenkavalier. Filled with soaring waltzes and opulent orchestral color, the suite closes the evening in a spirit of romance, showcasing Strauss at his most dazzling.
