Artists who are taking Shor’s shilling

Describing itself as ‘as one of the world’s most notable classical music festivals’, InClassica International Music Festival will be resident next April at Dubai Opera ‘with a special edition dedicated to marking the 55th birthday of renowned contemporary composer Alexey Shor’.

Shor is a US hedge-fund millionaire who has drawn a slate of renowned performers to Dubai, among them: violinists Maxim Vengerov, Daniel Lozakovich, Gil Shaham and María Dueñas; violist David Aaron Carpenter; pianist Mikhail Pletnev; cellists Edgar Moreau and Gautier Capuçon; and conductor Lionel Bringuier.

See Van’s recent investigation for further particulars.
