Abu Dhabi - After the Children's concert held on December 6 at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, as part of the Abu Dhabi Classics season two presented by Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) , Oscar-winning actor Sir Ben Kingsley and German Maestro Christoph Eschenbach expressed their gratitude to Abu Dhabi Classics. "If Abu Dhabi Classics had not invited us, our passes might never have crossed. The collaboration was artistically very satisfying to both of us and we are now thinking of common future plans" said Christoph Eschenbach.

Sir Ben Kinsley was the narrator in Peter Prokefiev's musical tale PETER AND THE WOLF, Christoph Eschenbach conducted the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.

No orchestra in the world has a longer or more distinguished tradition than Dresden’s great Staatskapelle. This incomparable orchestra was founded in the 16th century and was acclaimed in the 19th century as Europe’s finest orchestra by no less than Beethoven and Richard Strauss.

Also the Emirates Palace Auditorium will witness on Sunday December 6, Santa Claus Concert for Kids narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley.

On St. Nicholas Day, 6 December, lucky young musicians from the Abu Dhabi Classics Academy performed with Dresden’s legendary orchestra in a programme designed for young music lovers, including Leopold Mozart’s charming “Toy” Symphony and Prokofiev’s beloved musical tale Peter and the Wolf.

Discussions about future common plans in Abu Dhabi have started with booth artists and will be reveled by next year.
