Arooj Aftab, Ibrahim Maalouf and friends
Highlights from the 2025 season of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms.
Two leading contemporary artists join forces with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra for a unique collaboration that adds an orchestral dimension to their signature sound worlds. Arooj Aftab finds as much inspiration in Urdu poetry as in the cacophony of the modern metropolis; Ibrahim Maalouf’s work blends a wide range of influences from Middle Eastern melodies to Latin jazz and African rhythms.
Performers:
Arooj Aftab, vocals; Ibrahim Maalouf, trumpet; ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra, Jules Buckley, conductor
