Celtic Connections 2026 Celtic Connections: The Ayoub Sisters with BBC SSO - Arabic Symphony

The Ayoub Sisters are a multi-instrumental musical duo consisting of siblings Sarah and Laura Ayoub. The Glasgow-born pair arrange and perform instrumental versions of classical works and well-known pop songs.

In this very special performance at Celtic Connections with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the sisters celebrate their ten-year anniversary with a whirlwind evening of folklore and adventure. Paying homage to their Egyptian heritage, Sarah and Laura present the world premiere of their Arabic Symphony, along with brand-new orchestral arrangements written especially for this show.

“The word 'incredible' is overused, but the Ayoub Sisters are exactly that.” (Classic FM)
