Al Ain Music Festival returns tomorrow with another series of performances from locally based artists.
Back for a fifth edition, the festival is held in various venues across the Garden City, with concerts ranging from classical to funk and rock.
It starts tomorrow night with the Garden City Classics. Held at the cultural and wellness centre La Dolce Vita, the concert will feature a bevy of UAE-based talent led by American soprano Sherri Weiler and the duo Ilya Netkach (violin) and Natalia Nechepurenko (piano) - both of whom are music instructors at the House of Arts Institute. The action then moves to Danat Al Ain Resort Hotel on Saturday, with a free open mic night for musicians.

The following night (November 17) is for jazz fans. Local performers will headline the All About Jazz concert at Al Ain Rotana, featuring saxophonist Paul Moutarde and keyboardist Tamas Antal.
