ECHOES OF TIME: IBN ARABI
February 2026
Across centuries, the words of the poet and philosopher Ibn Arabi have resonated through cultures and generations. His verses speak of love, unity, and the search for meaning, reminding us that every moment, like every note, carries the rhythm of existence itself.
Echoes of Time transforms those timeless ideas into sound, blending Arabic and Western musical traditions in a dialogue between past and present. It is a concert of reflection and renewal, where music becomes language, meditation, and connection.
The performance brings together orchestra, Arabic instruments and voice in a seamless conversation: the oud answers the violin, the ney echoes the human breath, and the choir lifts words into air and light. Each note moves between stillness and awakening, between memory and discovery, inviting the listener to experience time as emotion, not chronology.
The music draws on the spirit of Sufi sama, the art of deep listening, weaving classical harmony with improvisation and grace. The result is both intimate and expansive, a soundscape where silence and melody coexist, inviting every listener to pause, breathe, and listen with the heart.
This programme reflects the UAE’s belief in the power of beauty, contemplation, and cultural connection. Echoes of Time is not just a concert, but a moment of shared reflection, a journey inward and outward at once, where every sound carries a trace of meaning.
