Laura and Sarah Ayoub, renowned Scottish-Egyptian musicians, are set to headline a major show at this year's Celtic Connections festival. The first half will see the sisters perform on violin and cello, while the second half features the premiere of their largest composition, the Arabic Symphony, performed by the Scottish Symphony Orchestra. The work represents a fusion of their Scottish upbringing and Egyptian heritage, reflecting their journey of blending Western and Arabic musical influences. Despite challenges in their career, including being dropped by a major label, the sisters continue to champion music education and cultural diversity, and are now expanding their creative pursuits with a new podcast.
