This Ramadan, spirituality meets symphonic power.

The UAE National Orchestra presents “Echoes of Time: Ibn Arabi” — a world-premiere symphonic poem inspired by the timeless philosophy and mystical poetry of Ibn Arabi.

Composed by acclaimed musician Nadim Tarabay, this is not just a concert. It is a contemplative Ramadan journey — where orchestral grandeur meets spiritual depth in an unforgettable live experience.

📍 Performance Dates & Venues

• 25 February – The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi
• 5 March – Dubai Opera

Two iconic stages. One powerful premiere. Limited performances.

If you value authentic cultural experiences during Ramadan, this is essential.

✨ What Is “Echoes of Time: Ibn Arabi”?

This contemporary symphonic poem transforms Ibn Arabi’s mystical verses into a living orchestral narrative. His reflections on love, unity, time, and divine consciousness become sound — layered through strings, brass, percussion, and atmospheric textures.

Expect:

• A powerful orchestral build
• Meditative passages that invite reflection
• Emotional crescendos that feel transcendent
• A seamless fusion of tradition and modern composition

Ramadan is a month of contemplation. This performance deepens that reflection through music.

🎼 Why Ibn Arabi?

Ibn Arabi is one of the most influential spiritual thinkers in Islamic history. His poetry transcends geography and time, speaking of unity, divine love, and the interconnectedness of existence.

Bringing his work to the symphonic stage during Ramadan in the UAE is culturally significant — and artistically bold.

This is heritage reimagined, not repeated.

🎻 The Vision Behind the Music

Composer Nadim Tarabay crafts a contemporary orchestral language that respects classical structure while embracing Middle Eastern tonalities and spiritual atmosphere.

The result?

An immersive sonic journey that feels both rooted and revolutionary.

This is not background music.
It demands attention.
It rewards reflection.

Dress elegantly. Arrive early. Let the music unfold.

💫 Final Reflection

Ramadan is about slowing down. Listening. Reflecting.

“Echoes of Time: Ibn Arabi” does exactly that — but through symphonic force rather than silence.

Two cities.
Two performances.
One rare artistic moment.

25 February in Abu Dhabi.
5 March in Dubai.

If you seek depth this Ramadan, this is where you’ll find it. 🌙
