Doha, Qatar: Qatari composer Dana Al Fardan yesterday announced her next high profile European appearance at the 77th Estate Fiesolana – Teatro Romano di Fiesole, Tuscany, where she will perform her latest musical offering ‘INDIGO’ to the public for the first time on July 17, 2024.

Doha-born Dana addressed assembled media at the Teatro Della Pergola, Florence, confirming her performance at Italy’s oldest outdoor festival, where she is set to be joined by fellow musicians from the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and the La Filharmonie - Filarmonica de Firenze next month.

Set against the ancient surrounds of the Teatro Romano di Fiesole, situated just outside Florence, the collaboration will also feature artists from the Lyric Dance Company, headed by creative director and choreographer Alberto Canestro, and marks the historic first public performance of an artist from the Gulf region in the Roman amphitheatre.

Fresh from her recent milestone appearance as the first Gulf musician to perform at the star-studded Trophée Chopard Gala during the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May, this is the second time Dana has made musical history in 2024, as she continues to expand her flourishing presence across Europe with the critically-acclaimed ‘INDIGO’.

 With its foundation in neoclassical music interposed with electronic elements, ‘INDIGO’ transcends conventional boundaries to create an unforgettable, immersive multi-sensory experience, merging sound and colour together.
