Two-day music festival taking place in Sharjah

The entry to the concert and both workshops are free, and is open to general public.

With the weather getting pleasant, it's time to head outdoors and soak in some culture, too! Sharjah's Flag Island will host a two-day cultural fiesta on December 16-17.
In one of the sessions, you can learn how to build musical instruments from recycled materials.
Day 1 will begin with a lively drums and vocals workshop - 'Music, Ritual & Fun' - conducted by the Polish duo, Iza Kowalewska and Ryszard Bazarnik, from 2-6 pm.
The workshop will use music therapy to channelise rhythm and song for creating positive energies among participants, who will learn mutual harmony and perform as one orchestra. This cultural fiesta will continue on Saturday as the whole island gets consumed by an open-to-public fun artistic workshop, which will focus on building musical instruments out of recycled materials, the ability of a variety of junk materials to create sound will be tested and manipulated.
"With more than 80 per cent of the UAE's population characterised by residents hailing from all over the world, we are one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world.
"The Polish population in the UAE is the highest in the Arab world, and through this concert, we want to send out a message of our belief in promoting international solidarity by celebrating global cultures, and simultaneously developing the Flag Island as a central venue hosting artistic and literary events in the region," said Giuseppe Moscatello, Manager of Flag Island.
The entry to the concert and both workshops are free, and is open to general public.
