- Led by François López-Ferrer, recipient  of the 2024 Sir Georg Solti Conducting  Award, the UAE National Orchestra  opens the Festival's 2026 season with  a programme of sweeping drama and  orchestral grandeur.   Georgian pianist David Khrikuli,  laureate of numerous international  competitions and one of the most  exciting young pianists of his  generation, brings Rachmaninoff's  beloved Piano Concerto No. 2 to life in all its soaring lyricism, brooding  passion and breathtaking virtuosity.  The concert culminates in Dvořák's  Symphony No. 8, a score of radiant  invention and folk-infused warmth,  brimming with melodic generosity and  the unmistakable joy of a composer at  the height of his powers.
