Dubai: Lebanese pop sensation Nancy Ajram will perform at the inaugural Arab-Russian Gala in Dubai next month. The event is being held at Madinat Jumeirah on November 6.
A number of elite Russian artistes, including 2008 Eurovision Contest winner Dima Bilan and ballet duo Nikolai Tsiskaridze and Ilze Liepa, also form part of the evening line-up. The gala will include a charity auction to raise funds for the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre, the Welfare Association, a leading Palestinian non-government organisation, and the construction of the first Russian Orthodox Cathedral in the UAE, Parish of Saint Philip.
Sergey Krasnogor, Consul General of the Russian Federation in Dubai, said the event marked a historic moment in relations between the two countries.
"We support all activities and business initiatives between the two countries and hope to organise more meetings to discuss further opportunities on both sides," he said.
The initiative was instigated by London-based event organiser Ensemble Productions and the Russian-Arab Business Council in Moscow in conjunction with the Centre of Social Communications.
