VENUE CHANGE FOR ABU DHABI CLASSICS CONCERT WITH DAME EVELYN GLENNIE ON MAY 14

"Listen - The World's Foremost Solo Percussionist" will no longer be performed as published in the "Abu Dhabi Theatre". The new venue will be "Zayed University - Auditorium" (Delma Street, Abu Dhabi). Purchased tickets remain valid, the start time stays at 7 pm.

Evelyn Glennie is the first person in musical history to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist.
