Get ready for a night where music becomes a bridge between worlds. The Yemenis Orchestra, led by renowned conductor Mohammed Al Qahoom, is set to grace the stage of Dubai Opera on December 14, 2025, in a concert that promises to be as soulful as it is unforgettable. This isn’t just a musical performance, it’s a celebration of culture, identity, and heritage brought to life through symphonic beauty.
The Man Behind the Magic: Mohammed Al Qahoom
Hailing from the historic city of Tarim in Yemen’s Hadhramaut region, Mohammed Al Qahoom is more than a maestro, he’s a cultural visionary. Trained as a civil engineer, he later pursued his passion for music and established the “Heritage Symphonies” initiative, aiming to preserve and reimagine Yemen’s traditional music through orchestral arrangements.
Al Qahoom’s work has captivated audiences across the globe, with performances in cities like Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait, and now, Dubai. His unique blend of Eastern instruments and Western composition creates a sound that’s both nostalgic and groundbreaking.
A Cultural Experience Like No Other
This concert is more than a performance, it’s a journey into the heart of Yemen’s musical heritage. The Yemenis Orchestra will present a selection of the country’s most treasured folk melodies, reimagined with the power of a full symphonic ensemble.
Expect layered arrangements that blend traditional instruments like the qanbus, oud, and regional percussion with Western strings and brass. The music draws from Hadhrami Dan, Sana’ani poetry, and sea chants from Yemen’s coastal communities—each piece telling stories of love, longing, and resilience.
Whether you have Yemeni roots, a love for world music, or simply want to experience something new, this concert offers a rare chance to connect with a rich and timeless culture, through sound that speaks to the soul.
