About this plan
If Arabic music and oriental dance catch your attention, this is a different plan on Bogotá's cultural calendar. Teatro El Ensueño hosts the AL-QÁNTARA 2026 Arabic Music and Dance Festival in its philharmonic version, a staging that blends Middle Eastern sounds with a live symphony orchestra.
The show brings more than 45 musicians to the stage, including the Al-Qántara Latina ensemble, the Bacatá Philharmonic Orchestra, and eight Arabic dance groups. The setlist adds up to fourteen pieces that mix classic pieces of the genre, orchestral arrangements, and original works, all tied together with choreography, visual elements, and a short narrative line that guides the audience through the experience.
Al-Qántara Latina has worked in Bogotá since 2014 on performing and circulating Arabic music. Its track record includes past festivals like Batwanes Beek (2024) and Maqam Filarmónico with the Bacatá Philharmonic (2025), which backs the proposal now arriving at Teatro El Ensueño.
What to expect
- More than 45 musicians on stage
- Fourteen pieces mixing classics and original arrangements
- Eight Arabic dance groups
- Backing from the Bacatá Philharmonic Orchestra
- Philharmonic version of the Al-Qántara Festival
Who it's for
A good fit for fans of Arabic music, oriental dance, and symphonic formats, and also for anyone curious to see an unusual crossover between a philharmonic orchestra and Middle Eastern folk in Bogotá.
