 Southbank Centre Presents

IBRAHIM MAALOUF IN CONCERT

A concert of music from Lebanese/French trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf's latest album 'Diagnostic', featuring jazz, classical, world, rock, electro and even rap.

Maalouf is the go-to guy for global artists from Amadou and Mariam to Sting. 'Diagnostic' is his third album, and it forms the final chapter in a triptych which began with his albums Diasporas and Diachronism.

'Diagnostic' is a magnificent conclusion to a trilogy based on the search for an original aesthetic, one dominated by the four-valve trumpet in which he traces his path through many musical genres.

The closing track, Beirut, pays a moving tribute to Lebanon, itself a torn extension of Maalouf's family.

An open, instinctive musician for whom technique necessarily serves feeling, Ibrahim Maalouf establishes himself here as a composer who, over time and through experience, has acquired mastery and assurance.
