A fusion of traditional Egyptian music & Jazz!

Ahmed Maher is internationally recognized as a world-class oud virtuoso and composer. His upcoming album Maktoub explores his Egyptian roots through compositions inspired by Arabic maqam traditions while embracing his Canadian home through a dynamic dialogue with jazz and improvisation.

This special concert celebrates the release of Ahmed Maher’s debut album Maktoub, performed with an ensemble of leading Vancouver musicians.

Join us on June 6 for an evening of evocative soundscapes, rhythmic interplay, and cross-cultural musical storytelling at the Alliance Française Theatre.
