Union Day 52

Polyphonia composed the music for UAE’s Union Day ceremony. A musical collaboration between Polyphonia, Mohamed Al Ahmed and Musicom. Designed by Es Devlin, the show explores the historical traditions of the UAE and how technology is used to further those traditions. Focusing on the country’s vision of a sustainable future.

Performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Nicholas Dodd and featuring vocals from the outstanding local Emirati choirs and soloist Jade Pybus.

“As we gather here, we envision the threads that weave our futures together. We gather you in the present for the sake of the future. And welcome those who hold a part of this collaboratory thread with us. As our hands combine to weave the next part of our collective tapestry.”
