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 成人快手 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 成人快手 Singers and the 成人快手 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.
