The Aga Khan Music Awards announced the full programme for the 2025 edition, presented in collaboration with the EFG London Jazz Festival across the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room, and in the Ismaili Centre London from 20–23 November. Over four days, London audiences will experience a musical journey spanning West Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean. The festival-style programme features musical conversations between centuries-old traditions and contemporary innovators, showcasing devotional qawwali and khayal; Gnawa music from Morocco; Turkish and Greek classical traditions; new sounds from the Middle East; and bold fusions with jazz and orchestral music. “Through music, our stories breathe and our shared humanity endures. The Aga Khan Music Awards celebrate this transformative power of music – not only as an art form, but also as a means of fostering dialogue and understanding across cultures,” says Fairouz Nishanova, Director, Aga Khan Music Programme and Aga Khan Music Awards.
