Emeralds and Ivy with Diana Yukawa




Violinist Diana Yukawa has been asked to take to the stage for Ronan Keating and friends at the sixth annual Emeralds & Ivy Ball this December.
Singing sensation Leona Lewis will also take to the stage to perform some of her greatest hits in front of a showbiz audience at Supernova in Embankment Gardens, London.
This is one of London’s most prestigious and entertaining calendar events. Past guests have rubbed shoulders with Rod Stewart, Jon Bon Jovi, Sir Steve Redgrave and Jodie Kidd, and been treated to intimate performances including Gary Barlow, The Saturdays, Ronan Keating himself and soon revolutionary Violinist Diana Yukawa.
The Emeralds & Ivy Ball celebrates the partnership between Cancer Research UK and the Marie Keating Foundation and has raised an incredible £3.3 million since it began. All of the money raised on the night from the exclusive auctions will fund vital mobile Cancer Information Units travelling across the UK and Ireland.
The charity ball raised £730,000 for Cancer Research UK and the Marie Keating Foundation last year, helping to fund two mobile Cancer Awareness Roadshow units, staffed by specialist nurses and health advisors.
This year’s glittering list of celebrity guests includes Ronan Keating, Leona Lewis, James Corden, David Gandy, Kara Tointon, Rod Stewart, Penny Lancaster-Stewart, Alan Shearer, Sharon Corr, Sol Campbell, Michael Flatley and Gloria Hunniford.

Officially there as a guest of Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, the audience were treated by a very special, surprise solo performance by the young, revolutionary violinist.
The Festival of Thinkers conference in the United Arab Emirates is an opportunity to celebrate innovative ideas that inspire collaborative actions.
The Higher Colleges of Technology marked the start of its 40th National Day celebrations with the launch of its signature event - the 4th biennial Festival of Thinkers conference.
The Festival is dedicated to the ongoing celebration of the power and importance of thinking. It focuses on the role of scientists, academics, leaders and thinkers in the renewal and progress of human societies. That is, there will be a focus on their roles in generating ideas, solving problems, sustaining the environment, promoting health in the world’s communities and nurturing the values of global peace and understanding.
The modern violinist has been invited to the Festival of Thinkers conference every year since its conception, affirming Diana’s place as one of the best ambassadors representing the arts.
