World Orchestra for Peace at the Abu Dhabi Festival

For this concert of the World Orchestra for Peace at the Abu Dhabi
Festival, conductor Valery Gergiev, head of St. Petersburg's Mariinsky
Theater and principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, has
put together a program that includes major works by two of his favorite
composers, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky. With the World Orchestra for
Peace, Gergiev has at his command an orchestra that is truly remarkable
from every point of view. It is not only put together of the best musicians
from the best orchestras of the world; the orchestra, which was established
by Sir Georg Solti in 1995, also pursues a very special goal: to "reaffirm
the unique strength of music as an ambassador for peace". The concerts
given by this ensemble, whose musicians are all actively engaged in their
respective orchestras, are rare but exquisite and highly appreciated
events.
