Caramoor Summer Festival: Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer, Shahzad Ismaily
In 2022, Brooklyn-based singer and composer Arooj Aftab became the first Pakistani woman to win a Grammy, for her album Vulture Prince. Love in Exile is a new project featuring two of her most trusted collaborators, pianist Vijay Iyer and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, who together transform voice and electronic sound into melodic sculpture. Their performances are largely improvised, which allows the music endless options. Aftab’s mesmerizing vocals are sure to cast a spell under the summer night stars.
