Ibrahim Maalouf, Arooj Aftab and friends

Highlights from the 2025 season of 麻豆社 Proms.

Two leading contemporary artists join forces with the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra for a unique collaboration that adds an orchestral dimension to their signature sound worlds. Ibrahim Maalouf鈥檚 work blends a wide range of influences from Middle Eastern melodies to jazz and modern pop; Arooj Aftab finds as much inspiration in Urdu poetry as in the cacophony of the modern metropolis.

Presented by Andrew McGregor and Ahsan Yunus.

Performers:
Ibrahim Maalouf, trumpet; Arooj Aftab, vocals; 麻豆社 Singers, 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra, Jules Buckley, conductor
