Ibrahim Maalouf live in Berlin

Experience Ibrahim Maalouf live on November 15th

Ibrahim Maalouf will perform at Konzerthaus Berlin on November 15, 2026. Maalouf is a French-Lebanese trumpeter and composer known for blending jazz with Arabic musical traditions. His style often incorporates microtonal scales – intervals smaller than those typically used in Western music – reflecting the nuances of Arabic maqam. He frequently utilizes electronic effects and explores themes of identity, memory, and diaspora within his compositions. Maalouf’s work transcends genre boundaries, incorporating elements of classical, world music, and contemporary improvisation.

Konzerthaus Berlin holds significant cultural importance as one of Germany’s leading concert halls. Originally built in 1821 as a theatre, it underwent extensive reconstruction following damage during World War II, reopening in 1984. The hall is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and its historically informed architectural restoration which aimed to recreate its original 19th-century appearance. It is home to the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, a highly regarded orchestra with a long tradition of performing both orchestral repertoire and operatic productions.
