Ibrahim Maalouf - Trumpets Of Michel-Ange Vol. 2

Following the acclaimed success of 'Trumpets of Michel-Ange,' which garnered critical praise, millions of streams, and over 140 global concerts, Ibrahim Maalouf presents Volume 2. This new album marks a significant evolution in the musical and human journey centered around the quarter-tone trumpet.

The Trumpets of Michel-Ange Ensemble:

Volume 2 prominently features 'The Trumpets of Michel-Ange,' an ensemble of professional trumpet players. Ibrahim Maalouf assembled this group through an extensive educational initiative designed to make the quarter-tone trumpet, originally created by his father in the 1960s, more accessible. By providing instruments identical to his own and establishing an associated academy, this project empowers musicians worldwide to engage with this unique musical language.

A Passing of the Torch:

While the first album laid the foundation, Volume 2 signifies a passing of the torch, celebrating the emergence of a cohesive ensemble that now acts with near autonomy, driven by a strong collective sonic identity. Guided by Maalouf's enduring philosophy of transmission, this album delves deeper into the artistic exploration of the quarter-tone trumpet, symbolizing an open, accessible, and universal musical language. The ensemble, once heirs to this knowledge, are now its bearers, performers, and creators.

'Trumpets of Michel Ange was born as a dream of sharing and transmission. Today, this dream takes on a new dimension: seeing these musicians express themselves together, free themselves, and carry this music on their own is the project's most precious fulfillment,' states Ibrahim Maalouf.

This audio CD offers a profound continuation of Maalouf's innovative work, showcasing the vibrant sound and collaborative spirit of The Trumpets of Michel-Ange.
