After an improvisation duel alongside Jean-François Zygel, Ibrahim Maalouf returns to the Philharmonie Luxembourg in December with his project «Les trompettes de Michel-Ange». For this evening as unique as the frescoes decorating the walls of the Sixtine Chapel, the Franco-Lebanese musician has gathered four further trumpet players around him in a most unusual combo. He himself plays an instrument custom-built to his requirements, taking advantage of technical discoveries made by his father in order to combine the sounds of East and West.
