Maya Youssef – Finding Home by Various, De (2022/2022), St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, United Kingdom

Maya Youssef, ‘Queen of the Qanun’ plays music from her latest album Finding Home, with her 10-piece ensemble. The qanun (a 78-stringed plucked instrument from the Middle East) is at the heart of Maya’s evocative soundworld, which is infused with a sense of loss for her Syrian homeland and inspired by a more universal sense of home.
