MECMA Participants Get Exclusive Access to All 16 Concerts at InClassica Festival

After three universally acclaimed editions, the Middle East Classical Music Academy (MECMA) is returning to Dubai, UAE, to celebrate its fourth edition in April 2025, offering not only masterclasses for youth orchestras, courses for choral ensembles, a variety of individual masterclasses across different categories, and a special daytime concert series, but also the opportunity to attend the celebrated InClassica International Music Festival 2025.

As part of their rigorous educational programme, aimed at adding excitement to the evenings, all participants of MECMA will have the opportunity to attend the 14th edition of the renowned InClassica International Music Festival, a two-week extravaganza known as the world’s biggest musical observatory celebrating all things music and culture, bringing some of classical music's biggest stars to light up the sensational Dubai Opera from April 6th to 21st, 2025.

InClassica 2025 is scheduled to be a groundbreaking affair which will welcome an incredible 14 globally lauded soloists by the end of its run, with its groundbreaking 16 concerts showcasing appearances by two globally recognised philharmonic orchestras – the Franz Schubert Filharmonia and Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra – led by no fewer than five celebrated conductors, with names like Andrea Battistoni, Sergey Smbatyan, Mikhail Pletnev and many others, adorning the festival’s day-to-day programmes. The concerts will feature timeless classical music favourites, showcasing beloved works by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky, along with contemporary pieces, notably by Composer-in-Residence and festival dedicatee Alexey Shor.
