"Ibrahim Maalouf" Concert
28 October 2026 · 20:30
Sala Apolo, el Poble-sec, Sants-Montjuïc
“A great adventure that takes us to a world where folklore and modernity become one.” This is how the promotional material describes the second volume of trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf's new project, The Trumpets of Michel-Ange (T.O.M.A). Sophisticated yet accessible music, it continues, eventually defining it as “a true mixture of influences in which festive and nostalgic Eastern sounds are expressed with exceptional freedom”. T.O.M.A, which is also the name of Ibrahim Maalouf's new trumpet brand —designed by Maalouf himself—, represents a kind of tribute by Maalouf to his own life —born in Lebanon and raised in France, where he is now a star far beyond jazz— and to his father, a trumpeter and inventor of the instrument Maalouf now champions —a microtonal or quarter-tone trumpet—. A striking debut at our festival: T.O.M.A, according to those who have seen the show live, is a party, an invitation to share and vibrate together without restraint in a joyful and life-affirming celebration. Ibrahim Maalouf, trumpet and musical direction.
