Hiba Tawaji featuring Ibrahim Maalouf

Music · Crossovers · Gare du Midi

A Lebanese voice and one of the most recognisable trumpets in the world: Hiba Tawaji invites Ibrahim Maalouf for an evening that resembles nothing else in the winter programme.

Hiba Tawaji sings in Arabic, French and English, with a power that bears little relation to what is usually heard on French stages. Ibrahim Maalouf has spent twenty years making the quarter-tone trumpet coexist with just about every repertoire going.

A meeting, not a support slot

The distinction matters: the “invites” format implies genuine joint work rather than a shared bill. Maalouf is well practised at this — it has become his signature — and Tawaji has the voice not to be drowned out.

The local tip

This is the most unexpected date of the Biarritz winter, and probably the one that will fill fastest with an audience drawn from the whole coast. One caveat: the announced date is unconfirmed, as several ticket outlets have circulated conflicting information. Check before booking.

The least predictable evening of the season.
