The Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage's (ADACH) World Music series concluded this year's program with a concert by an Azerbaijani musical legend yesterday. The series (Music of the world in Abu Dhabi), launched in October 2008, brought UAE citizens and residents a number of famous international musicians and singers for a period of eight months.
So far 16 thousand people have attended its 15 concerts, but ADACH is already preparing for its upcoming October 2009 music program, which will be announced soon.
"The organization of the festival is part of the belief of the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage in the importance of hosting the most famous musical events, as part of its strategy to make Abu Dhabi as the capital of culture in all aspects and manifestations," said Abdullah Al Amiri, Director of the Department of Culture and Arts at ADACH.
