Performance NotesGrammy-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 BBC Symphony Orchestra to reinvent her distinctive sound on a symphonic scale.

Aftab is joined by special guests, including an opening set from French- Lebanese trumpeter, producer and composer Ibrahim Maalouf. Drawing on Latin American and Middle Eastern sounds and electronica, he believes music ‘should be limitless’. A chance to encounter two richly talented, genre-curious artists.
