Ibrahim Maalouf will perform at the Esplanade Aristide Briand in Cassis, France on July 4th, 2026. Maalouf is a French-Lebanese trumpeter and composer known for blending jazz with Arabic musical influences, particularly maqam traditions. His compositions often feature intricate melodies, complex rhythms, and a distinctive emotional depth, drawing from both Western and Eastern musical heritage. He frequently utilizes a custom-built four-valve trumpet allowing for quarter-tone inflections crucial to Arabic scales.

The Esplanade Aristide Briand is a prominent public space in Cassis situated along the Mediterranean coastline. Named after the French statesman Aristide Briand, a key figure in the interwar period and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the esplanade serves as a central gathering point for residents and tourists alike. It’s characterized by its expansive open area offering views of the harbor and Cap Canaille cliffs. The space regularly hosts public events including festivals, markets, and concerts due to its size and scenic location. Its construction significantly reshaped the Cassis waterfront in the mid-20th century, creating a dedicated area for pedestrian activity and leisure.
