The Coronet Theatre Jazz Festival 2026: Modes and Mystics

Louai Alhenawi, Salar Asid and Byron Wallen bring Arabic maqam traditions into contemporary jazz, followed by late-night bar music.

Louai Alhenawi plays ney flute and percussion, Salar Asid violin, and Byron Wallen trumpet and percussion. Bass and drums are to be confirmed. The programme draws on Arabic melodic modes and Sufi writing; Rumi, Hafiz and historical jazz influences are not billed current performers. A late-night bar set features emerging UK musicians whose names and start times are unannounced. Exact finish remains unknown. Published Louai Alhenawi and Salar Asid names await verified catalogue artist links.
