About Doha | Doha Film Institute

Thus in certain parts, Doha can be reminiscent of Italy, London or
India. But it’s the emphasis on culture and education that truly makes
Doha a budding international city. Initiatives launched in only the
past year include the first Doha Tribeca Film Festival, the birth of
the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and the stunning Museum of Islamic Art
- one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Islamic art, and
a symbol of Qatar's transformation into the region's cultural center.

We’re doing the fourth movement of the Doha Secret Symphony (as well as
A Khachaturian’s violin concerto – flute version and Franck’s Symphony
in D Minor at our first performance). The last movement is a special
measure for the Emir, it’s a special part of the story, so we’re doing
it for the National Day of Qatar. It was composed last year (by H
Namma). We played the whole composition; it was commissioned for the
Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra.
Arabian Concerto
http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/?fuseaction=composition&composition_id=4344
Music has no homeland. It is the sole common language of humanity that
has the potential to make up for the miscommunication that plagues
communities of disparate tongues, bent upon mutual oppression.
Ultimately, music does not lend itself to a Manichean division into
Eastern and Western because it is a single language, enunciated with
different accents. More aptly, one ought to speak of music's East and
music's West, for music itself is space and time, and of the twain, it
is the center, the heart.
Classical Concert - Qatar Events Listing
http://www.qatarhappening.com/events/details.aspx?id=2651
QPO will perform Incidental Music to Egmont in the second half of the
program. This piece was commissioned to provide a music score for
Goethe's Egmont, which depicts the Spanish persecution of the people of
the Netherlands in 1567-1568. Beethoven expressed his own political
concerns, particularly the heroic exaltation of the sacrifice of a man
condemned to death by having taken a strong stand against oppression.
The overture, powerful and expressive, is one of the last works of the
composer’s “middle period,” when Beethoven's reputation was established
as a great composer. It is in a similar style to the Fifth Symphony,
which was completed two years earlier.
The desert blooms: culture in Qatar |

To become a cultural capital is the way to the world's heart, or so
runs the idea. This is not a novel notion in the Gulf, where emirates
bid to be taste makers; Abu Dhabi, for one, has its own versions of the
Louvre and the Guggenheim.
