The Ayoub Sisters are a classical music ensemble consisting of two sisters, Laura and Sarah Ayoub. They were born and raised in Scotland, and their parents are of Egyptian and Lebanese descent. The sisters began playing music at a young age, with Laura starting on the violin and Sarah on the cello. They both showed a natural talent for their respective instruments and quickly progressed in their studies. In 2014, the Ayoub Sisters decided to form a duo and began performing together. They quickly gained attention for their unique blend of classical and Middle Eastern music, which they infused into their performances. Their first major performance was at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, where they played to a sold-out audience. This performance was a turning point for the sisters, as it led to more opportunities and recognition. Since then, the Ayoub Sisters have performed at numerous prestigious venues and events, including the Royal Albert Hall, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the BBC Proms. They have also collaborated with other musicians and artists, such as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Their performances have been praised for their technical skill and emotional depth, as well as their ability to bridge cultural divides through music. In addition to their live performances, the Ayoub Sisters have released several albums and singles. Their debut album, "The Ayoub Sisters," was released in 2016 and features a mix of classical and Middle Eastern music. They have also released several singles, including "Auld Lang Syne" and "The Last Rose of Summer," which showcase their unique arrangements and interpretations of traditional Scottish and Irish songs. The Ayoub Sisters have received numerous awards and accolades for their music. In 2016, they were named "Best Newcomer" at the Scottish Variety Awards. They have also been featured in several media outlets, including BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. Their music has been praised for its ability to bring together different cultures and traditions, and for its emotional impact on listeners. Despite their success, the Ayoub Sisters remain humble and dedicated to their craft.
