This is the first Symphonic Evolutions concert to be performed in the United Arab Emirates and the Middle East region overall. The Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority collaborated with The Pokémon Company International and Princeton Entertainment to make this concert possible as part of the 2017 Mother of the Nation Festival. Mother of the Nation Festival, which is named after Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi (third and last surviving wife of the late Sheikh Zayed - founder and first president of the federation), is an annual festival for all residents to celebrate the inspirational values of the Sheikha about upholding happiness, progress and family.

Due to the nature of the concert being part of a festival program than an independent event, the official Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions website does not list the Abu Dhabi concert on their schedule.


Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions is a series of official concerts presented by The Pokémon Company International that plays orchestral arrangements of various songs from the core series Pokémon games. The concert has been held in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
