Around the World in 60 Minutes by UAE Philharmonic Orchestra
A musical adventure for curious minds of all ages
July 13 / 2 PM
Looking for a smart, fun, and cool place to take your kids this summer in Dubai? This is it.

Around the World in 60 Minutes is a magical concert for children and families, performed by a special 7-piece ensemble of the UAE Philharmonic Orchestra — a mix of string quartet and wind instruments — in their first-ever kids’ show!
Designed for children 6+ (and just as fascinating for grown-ups), this immersive experience blends live music, educational storytelling, and vivid visuals. All guided by a live narrator and a funny raccoon character who travels the globe, introducing young audiences to different countries through music, language, and cultural fun facts.

Musical stops on the journey include:
  • Toreador Song (Spain)
  • Hungarian Dance No. 5 (Hungary)
  • Arabian Dance from The Nutcracker (Middle East)
  • Libertango (Argentina)
  • Can-Can by Jacques Offenbach (France)
  • Russian Dance (Trepak) from The Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky (Russia)

Why parents will love it:
  • It’s fun and developmental: live classical music boosts concentration, memory, emotional awareness, creativity, and critical listening.
  • It’s a rare chance for kids to experience professional musicians up close — in a relaxed, immersive space where children are welcome and inspired, not shushed.

Why kids will love it:
Colorful visuals, catchy music from around the world, and interactive narration that makes them feel like musical explorers!

Important notes:
All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
