1h 30' Arooj Aftab’s voice glows in lush orchestral sounds full of melancholy and magic
In November 2025, the Metropole Orkest, conducted by Jules Buckley, will go on tour with one of the most unique voices in the music world: Arooj Aftab. The Pakistani-American singer and composer broke through with her Grammy-winning Mohabbat and bewitches with her mix of jazz and minimalism. Her music transcends genres and resonates on grand stages, from the North Sea Jazz Festival to intimate venues across the globe. We welcome her to DE SINGEL for the first time, where alongside the Metropole Orkest she will give her sound a new dimension. The rich orchestral sound elevates her melancholic melodies to a whole new level, without detracting from their emotional power.
The Metropole Orkest enjoys worldwide recognition as the pop and jazz orchestra. With its unique line-up and unmistakeable sound, it moves audiences time and time again - and that is the essence of music.
