A National Philharmonic Orchestra in the UAE

Ideally any community needs to adapt to the reasoning of an orchestra in order to understand what they are being asked to support. Put simply an orchestra wants to give people a reason to play an instrument, give them a reason to want to listen to, learn about and appreciate music and give them motivation to teach music.

The Orchestra knows that it can generate numerous job opportunities. By funding an orchestra you are funding the man on the street, the child at school who dreams of great things, grandparents, tourism, and even your own desire to hear music, to relax and to know that your efforts to make existence a wonderful experience, are not being wasted.

The way an orchestra contributes to building a thriving community is quite simple. It begins with teachers. Teachers then coach the youth, who in turn unite with their teachers to play in performances themselves. Teachers & students alike compose & arrange new pieces & generate new music. The use of instruments means a need to supply instruments, services and maintenance for those instruments. The concerts themselves involve advertising, marketing, staging, designing, sound amplification, lighting and direction. The music produced by the students, teachers, freelance players & soloists can be used in collaboration with bands, ballets, theater productions, sporting events, TV and Radio adverts, corporate functions and even potentially producing CDs. A fully operational orchestra can also be a prestigious cultural ambassador for a society through touring and exposure to tourism.
