Dubai Philharmonic Orchestra

Dubai Philharmonic Orchestra

The Dubai Philharmonic Orchestra (DPO) was founded by Philipp Maier -- who became its first Conductor and Artistic Director -- to fulfill need for an orchestra within the United Arab Emirates. It performs in the city of Dubai.

In 2007 the orchestra was renamed to "UAE Philharmonic Orchestra - UAEPO" due to it's wide recognition and participation of musicians from all around the United Arab Emirates.The UAEPO is currently the only full permanent orchestra in the UAE. Originally called the Dubai Philharmonia, as of 2007 the UAEPO consists of around 70 local volunteer musicians - amateur and professional -- resident in the UAE -- and performs regularly at private events, public concerts and corporate functions.

Performances in early 2007 were claimed to be well-attended and successful.
