Ibrahim Maalouf live in La Ciotat

Experience Ibrahim Maalouf live on March 11th

Ibrahim Maalouf will perform at La Chaudronnerie in La Ciotat, France on March 11, 2027. Maalouf is a French-Lebanese trumpeter and composer known for blending Arabic musical scales and rhythms with jazz improvisation and orchestral arrangements. His work frequently incorporates elements of classical music, often featuring complex harmonies and melodic structures rooted in his Lebanese heritage. He gained prominence for playing the trumpet without using valves, a technique allowing him to produce microtonal intervals characteristic of Arabic maqams.

La Chaudronnerie is a performance venue located in a former shipbuilding site in La Ciotat. Originally part of the Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée (FCM) shipyards – historically significant for constructing numerous vessels including transatlantic liners and warships – the space has been repurposed as a cultural hub. The building’s industrial architecture, retaining elements of its shipbuilding past like large cranes and metal structures, forms a distinctive backdrop for events. It officially opened as a concert hall in 2019, quickly becoming known for its acoustics and capacity to host diverse musical genres, prioritizing contemporary and world music performances. The venue aims to blend industrial heritage with modern artistic expression.
