Live Shows

Battle of the Bands, Bands on the Block &
Candidate Weekend Shows

Every year, multiple departments from across NYU Abu Dhabi come together, including Gazelien Records, to create a band competition and showcase where the best student bands gets the opportunity to record an EP with Gazelien Records all-student team during the Recording and Production Techniques (RPT) class. We want to give a big thank you to all parties involved including: Student Life, The Arts Center, The Arts and Humanities Department, The Office of Social Opportunity, The Office of Global Education, The Music Program, The Visual Arts Program, The Interactive Media Program and The Film and New Media Program.

Gazelien Records also organizes the production of other one-off shows including the Bands on the Block performance, Candidate Weekend showcases and Open Studio tours during the Art Center Open Studio night. These shows are run by the hard-working and talented team of student audio engineers and musicians under the guidance of Professor Matteo Marciano. We would also like to give a special thank you to Admissions Team for their assistance in preparing the Candidate Weekend performances.
