Ibrahim Maalouf « Trumpets of Michel-Ange »

Ibrahim Maalouf brings his new project Trumpets of Michel-Ange to Roundhouse, London, on Friday 12 June 2026, for a UK tour date built around his latest album. A key voice in French music over the past decade, the French-Lebanese trumpeter has traced a path between jazz, large-scale projects and collaborations across styles. His work has been recognised with consecutive Grammy nominations for Queen of Sheba (2022) and Capacity to Love (2023), multiple Victoires du Jazz and Victoires de la Musique, and an Echo Jazz in Germany.

On stage, Maalouf leans into melodic writing, open improvisation and a clear sense of narrative, shaped by years of composing for the studio and the screen as well as touring worldwide. Expect new material from Trumpets of Michel-Ange alongside pieces drawn from a catalogue that runs from early albums like Diasporas to recent collaborations. After high-profile arena shows and a steady run of international projects, this Roundhouse date focuses on the essentials: Maalouf’s trumpet at the centre, a band set up for interplay, and music that moves with ease between intimate passages and driving grooves.
