The Italian string quartet, Quartetto di Venezia, is holding a concert in Abu Dhabi to celebrate the opening of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair.
Quartetto di Venezia will perform at Abu Dhabi Theatre, Corniche Breakwater, on April 26th as a guest of Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority, TCA Abu Dhabi, and the Embassy of Italy to the United Arab Emirates.
The quartet has been invited to the emirate as Italy is this year's guest of honour at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair. The concert is also supported by the Abu Dhabi Classics international concert season, which runs until May and attracts leading classical music performers from across the world to perform in the emirate during its annual nine month season.
The 26th edition of the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair will be held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, from 27th April to 3rd May at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.
The book fair will highlight its personality of the year, the Arabic-Islamic philosopher Ibn Rushd, through a dedicated pavilion while the nation of Italy will also be celebrated through an integrated programme that consists of cultural and professional events and children's activities. Italy will also feature in the Show Kitchen and the Illustrator's Corner and shed light on the Emirati-Italian cultural dialogue.
