Ibrahim Maalouf live in Nuremberg

Experience Ibrahim Maalouf live on November 12th

Ibrahim Maalouf will perform at Z-Bau in Nuremberg, Germany on November 12, 2026. Maalouf is a French-Lebanese trumpeter and composer known for blending jazz with Arabic musical traditions. His style frequently incorporates microtonal scales – intervals smaller than those typically used in Western music – reflecting the nuances of Arabic maqams (melodic modes). He often features lyrical melodies alongside complex improvisations, drawing upon both classical Arabic and contemporary influences. Maalouf’s compositions frequently explore themes of identity, displacement, and cultural fusion.

Z-Bau is a cultural center and event venue located in Nuremberg’s St. Lorenz Nord district. Originally constructed as a workshop hall for the city’s building department in the 1980s (“Z” standing for *Zentralwerkstatt*, central workshop), it was repurposed in the early 1990s to become a hub for alternative culture. The venue hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, club nights, exhibitions, and theatrical performances. Its industrial architecture contributes to a distinctive atmosphere, offering both larger hall spaces and smaller rooms suitable for varied artistic presentations.
