Soundhouse Winter Festival: The Ayoub Sisters

"The word ‘incredible’ is overused but good grief, the Ayoub Sisters are exactly that...look out for them!" – Classic FM

Scottish/ Egyptian instrumentalists and composers The Ayoub Sistersrose to stardom after their debut album premiered at No.1 in the Official Classical Charts. The sisters are recognised internationally for their chemistry on stage, as well as their ability to unite different musical genres and cultures together through their unique compositional style.

Recipients of the Arab Women of the Year Award, The Ayoub Sisters second album Arabesque – a celebration of and tribute to music from the Arab World, shot to No.1 in the iTunes Official Classical Chart. They have performed in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls and festivals with highlights including; the Royal Albert Hall, The Cairo Opera House, Dubai Opera, SXSW, Glastonbury and BBC Proms.

The sisters are no strangers to radio or television and made their TV debut performing live at the 2017 BAFTAs. They have also performed at the Last Night of the Proms, BBC Songs of Praise and have performed on BBC Radio 3, Classic FM and Scala Radio. The duo regularly perform for royals and presidents, and were recently requested by HM King Charles III to perform at the Honours of ScotlandCoronation service in Edinburgh. With an international YouTube following of over 100,000 subscribers, The Ayoub Sisters are fast becoming the sound of a truly exciting new generation of classical/ crossover artists.

We are delighted that the duo will be performing a very special (and intimate) one hour concert for the Soundhouse Winter Festival.
