Einaudi joins UAE National Orchestra for special night in Abu Dhabi

Following overwhelming demand from fans, acclaimed Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi returns to Abu Dhabi to take the stage at Etihad Arena on Sunday, January 24, 2027, in a momentous collaboration with the UAE National Orchestra.

With Einaudi at the piano and the UAE National Orchestra sharing the stage, the pianist and orchestra will together bring music to life on a grand scale.

The highly anticipated performance adds another globally recognised name to the UAE’s ever-growing calendar of world-class music and entertainment.

Over a career spanning more than four decades, Einaudi has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues, from La Scala in Milan and London’s Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House and the Arena of Verona, selling out both leading pop arenas and renowned concert halls.

Based in Abu Dhabi, the UAE National Orchestra is built on the foundations of Emirati musical heritage, blending Arabic and Western musical traditions.

The 100-strong ensemble of musicians and choir members made its historic debut at the opening of Zayed National Museum and launched its inaugural season in January 2026 with performances across five emirates.

The concert marks a much-anticipated return to the UAE for Einaudi, whose acclaimed performances at Etihad Arena in January 2025 and at Saadiyat Nights in January 2026 have built a devoted following across the region.

This time, he returns with an entirely new experience, sharing the stage with the nation’s own orchestra.
