About This Event

Grammy-winning artist Arooj Aftab is breaking new ground with her captivating, eclectic melting-pot of influences from jazz, folk, pop, blues and South Asian classical. For her Proms debut tonight, Aftab collaborates with Jules Buckley and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra to explore her distinctive sound on a symphonic scale.

French-Lebanese trumpeter, composer, and producer Ibrahim Maalouf opens the concert in collaboration with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra. His music blends a wide range of influences, from Middle Eastern melodies to jazz, Latin jazz, and African rhythms. Twice-nominated at the Grammy Awards, Maalouf is recognised for his unique sound, made possible by a custom-made trumpet designed by his father which allows him to play quarter-tones.

A chance to encounter two leading contemporary artists.
