About dcc

The Dubai Concert Committee was established 1996 under the kind patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum to provide an opportunity to enjoy classical music concerts.

In April 2011 The Dubai Concert Committee was awarded as Supporters of the Arts during the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Patrons of the Arts Award ceremony. We are  a team of music enthusiasts chaired by opera stage director Brigitta Dagostin, who are driven by our passion for music and our commitment to high quality concerts in Dubai. We have been bringing international professional performers to Dubai since 1996, and are the first organisation doing this in the classical area. In January 2014 we have created a new classical music series called “World Classical Music Series” and moved the concerts to the Royal Ballroom of the One&Only Royal Mirage Hotel where the series have been performed since. We have organized over 200 concerts for approximately 95000 lovers of classical music in Dubai. The Dubai Concert Committee belongs to dcc concert and event management.

Mission

It is our mission to contribute to the cultural dialogue and diversity in Dubai.

We do this by bringing international professional musicians to Dubai, with an emphasis on quality of performance and an interesting and varied repertoire.  For some of the musicians who have performed for us in the past, please visit our PAST CONCERTS section.

In each year’s programme, the Committee seeks to cover a range of composers, most periods of music, a selection of instruments and combinations, and musicians from several countries.  Performances range in scale from soloists to chamber orchestras, and the period from the 12 th to the 21 st century.

The Dubai Concert Committee is a not-for-profit organisation, all of whose members give their time free.  We are the only organisation regularly bringing this kind of music to the public of Dubai.

We are determined to pursue our mission and cordially invite you to SUPPORT us.

Concept

We host 8-9 classical concerts per year and strive to have a line up of the most prestigious stars across all major classical instruments.  We give special attention to young talents and take pride in the development of their careers.  The program is carefully customized to the unique strengths of the artist and spans all major eras of classical music, from barock to early 20th century classical music.

Venue: The One & Only Royal Mirage

The One & Only Royal Mirage is known for its majesty and style. This is an exquisite place, composed of distinctive environments:

  • The Palace’s ballroom provides excellent acoustics and spacious foyers to host guests at arrival and intermission.
  • After the concert the audience may enjoy the various beautiful restaurants and make this evening a very special occasion and social affair.
