Syrian kanun player Maya Youssef comes to the Royal Albert Hall as part of the Nour Festival.
Maya has given vibrant performances all over the world and attracted much media attention when she moved to Dubai in 2007, and was last year recognised as an 'Exeptional Talent' by the Arts Council of England.
The Nour Festival is the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea's festival of contemporary Middle Eastern arts and culture and comes to the Hall for both this free ignite concert and a performance by Natacha Atlas and her band in the Elgar Room on 12 October.
