Hiba Tawaji brings a brand-new programme to Théâtre Maisonneuve, celebrating the timeless legacy of French chanson in a show titled À la Française. The concert is described as both intimate and elegant, built around carefully chosen iconic songs that have defined the genre across generations.
For this special occasion, Hiba Tawaji invites her husband, internationally acclaimed trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf, to share the stage. Maalouf has crafted fresh arrangements for the programme, weaving together classical orchestration, jazz, pop, and Middle Eastern influences to give each song a new dimension.
Hiba Tawaji's voice — at once powerful and nuanced — bridges musical cultures effortlessly, while the couple's on-stage chemistry brings an uncommon warmth and humanity to the repertoire. The show premiered with a first single released on Valentine's Day 2026, a declaration of love to the chansons that inspired Tawaji's own path as a singer.
À la Française is positioned as more than a concert: it is a celebration of love, the central and most universal theme at the heart of French chanson. There is one performance only, on September 9, 2026, at 20:30.
