Berklee Abu Dhabi’s Jazz Night featuring Faia Younan

Berklee Abu Dhabi’s Jazz Night returns to the capital on 28 June 2026, bringing a special evening of live music to the Cultural Foundation. For this edition, acclaimed Syrian singer‑songwriter Faia Younan takes centre stage, performing her songs reimagined through fresh jazz‑inspired arrangements in collaboration with Berklee Abu Dhabi artists.

The concert is designed as a meeting point between contemporary Arabic songwriting and the improvisational spirit of jazz. Faia’s poetic lyrics and distinctive vocal style are placed in a new musical context, supported by an ensemble of musicians connected to Berklee’s global network, creating a one‑off programme that differs from her usual touring set.

Jazz Night is part of Berklee Abu Dhabi’s mission to celebrate music as a unifying force, highlighting how jazz can bridge traditions, genres and cultures. Hosted at the Cultural Foundation in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s cultural district, the evening offers a theatre‑style listening experience with professional sound and a seated format that keeps the focus squarely on the performance.

Tickets for Berklee Abu Dhabi’s Jazz Night featuring Faia Younan are available on Platinumlist, with prices starting from 120 AED for standard categories and higher tiers for preferred seating. The concert runs from 20:00 to 22:00, making it an ideal option for listeners who want a focused musical evening rather than a late‑night club event. Given the limited capacity and strong interest in previous editions, early booking is recommended.
