Sheikh Hamdan Approves Launch of Dubai Orchestra

Dubai is turning up the volume on its cultural ambitions. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, has officially approved the launch of the Dubai Orchestra—a major initiative set to boost the city’s global standing in the arts.

The project, led by Dubai Culture and supported by both public and private sectors, is designed to showcase the emirate’s creative strength while nurturing local talent and attracting world-class artists.

More Than Just Music: A Creative Movement

The Dubai Orchestra isn’t just about performances. It’s a long-term project to build a thriving music scene, mentor emerging Emirati artists, and attract innovative musicians from across the globe. It's also aimed at turning Dubai into a meeting point for global artistic talent and expression.

This move supports the broader Dubai Creative Economy Strategy, which seeks to make Dubai a global capital for creativity and culture by 2025. It also aligns with the Dubai Social Agenda 33, which prioritizes investing in people and communities.

Backing the UAE’s Creative Vision

Through concerts, educational programmes for youth, and collaborations with local community institutions, the orchestra will serve as a key platform to energize the country’s artistic ecosystem. It’s a cultural milestone that signals Dubai’s ongoing commitment to becoming a global incubator for innovation, art, and cultural dialogue.
