One Day Choir DXB: Human Nature Morning Session 2026 in Dubai

One Day Choir DXB: Human Nature Morning Session in Dubai brings around 150 singers together at The Fridge Warehouse on Alserkal Avenue on Sunday 8 November 2026 to learn, rehearse and perform Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature” in a single morning. There are no auditions, no experience needed and no commitment beyond the day itself. You turn up, pick up a lyric sheet and, a few hours later, you are part of a full choir singing big harmonies in one room.

About One Day Choir DXB

The idea behind One Day Choir is refreshingly simple. Take one great song, gather a room full of people who love to sing (or who quietly hum along in the car), and build a choir performance together from scratch. By the end of the session, the group performs the whole piece, harmonies and all.

What we love about the format is how low the barrier is. Plenty of people would like to sing in a choir but cannot commit to weekly rehearsals, or worry they are not good enough. Here, it is just one morning, and nobody is asked to audition. Experienced singers and complete beginners stand side by side, and the organisers make a point of saying everyone is welcome.

It is also a social morning as much as a musical one. The organisers describe it as a chance to meet and connect with people of different backgrounds and age groups, which is exactly the kind of mix you get in a city like Dubai.

The Song: Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”

This edition takes on “Human Nature”, one of Michael Jackson’s best-loved songs. It is a smart choice for a group arrangement. The melody is instantly recognisable, so you are not beginning from zero, and the song leaves plenty of space for layered vocal parts to shine.

The session builds the arrangement step by step. You learn the song section by section, then the different parts are added so the harmonies start to come together. The final stretch is the payoff, when everyone sings the full piece from start to finish. Hearing 150 voices lock into the same chord for the first time tends to be the moment people remember.

What to Expect on the Morning

The morning begins with arrival and sign-in, when you receive your lyric sheet. From there the choir gets straight into learning, so it is worth arriving in good time rather than slipping in late and trying to catch up.

You do not need to read music or have sung in a group before. The song is taught in manageable chunks, and the whole room learns together, which takes the pressure off any one person. If you are nervous, remember that you are one voice in a crowd of around 150. It is a very forgiving place to find your confidence.

Prefer to plan around a busy Sunday? This is the morning session, so you will be finished in time to enjoy the rest of the day. For more hands-on things to try, browse our workshops in the UAE.

The Venue: The Fridge Warehouse, Alserkal Avenue

The session takes place at The Fridge Warehouse, #5 Alserkal Avenue in Al Quoz 1. If you have time afterwards and fancy making a day of it, our art and culture listings are a good place to look for what else is on nearby.

Getting there by car, take Sheikh Zayed Road to the Al Manara exit (exit 43), then follow Al Manara Street, 8th Street and 17th Street, and you will find the venue on your left. Parking details are not listed. By Metro, ride the Red Line to Garmin Metro Station (formerly Noor Bank), then take a taxi or bus for the short remaining distance. Any Dubai taxi driver should know the location.

Who It Is For

One Day Choir is for anyone who likes to sing, whatever their level. Shower singers, karaoke regulars, former school choir members and people who have never sung in public will all fit right in. It makes a lovely plan with a friend, a partner or a group of colleagues looking for something different to do together.

Younger singers can join too. Children aged 10 to 18 may buy tickets if they are accompanied by an adult who is also taking part, which makes it a nice shared experience for a parent and teenager. If your plans change, tickets can be passed on to another attendee rather than going to waste.

If you have ever wanted to know what it feels like to sing in a big choir, this is about as easy an introduction as you will find. Grab a ticket for the One Day Choir DXB “Human Nature” morning session, bring a friend, and spend your Sunday morning singing Michael Jackson with 150 new bandmates.
