The Italian pianist has recently sold out shows in Dubai.
2026 is already shaping up to be a remarkable year for music lovers in the UAE. Following the announcement of Lewis Capaldi’s upcoming performance in Abu Dhabi, another artist has been announced for a concert in the capital. Get ready to welcome Italian pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi to the Saadiyat Nights concert series.
Taking place on 10 January on Saadiyat Island, Ludovico Einaudi will bring his brilliant compositions to the capital, following three sold-out shows in Dubai and a performance at Etihad Arena last year.
Born in Turin, Einaudi’s musical journey began under the guidance of his mother, who introduced him to the piano at a young age. His early experimentation with music eventually led him to pursue formal training in Milan, where he honed his composition skills. He later went on to make music for theatre, TV, and films, such as This is England, The Intouchables, and Nomadland.
Einaudi’s music draws inspiration from minimalism and contemporary pop. Some of his most famous works include “Experience,” “Nuvole Bianche,” and “I Giorni.”
The Italian composer holds several awards, namely the Avignon Film Festival, British Independent Film Awards, and David di Donatello Awards. He also has 13 nominations across prestigious platforms. With over 2.5 million albums sold globally, music lovers are in for an evening of melodious, heart-touching tones.
Saadiyat Nights is quickly becoming Abu Dhabi’s most talked-about event series. Known for its open-air ambience and star-studded lineups, it has hosted music royalty such as Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams and Sting in the past.
Tickets to see Ludovico Einaudi at Saadiyat Nights are live now and start at AED 295, going up to AED 1,795.
