Following the Sephardic music, the Corsican polyphonies, the flamenco and songs of Anatolia, it is now the treasures of Klezmer music that Constantinople will help to reveal! Accompanied by two leading figures of new Klezmer music - the co-founders of the New York group Klezmatics, Frank London and Lorin Sklamberg - Constantinople will set the stage for a dynamic encounter between the Klezmer and Persian musical traditions. A rare opportunity to hear songs sung in Yiddish and Persian, intermingled with the explosive improvisations of the entire cast of musicians on stage.
Constantinople travels along the great silk trade routes to India and recreates a world of sound where echoes of the intense musical dialogue between Iran and Northern India take us to new imaginary realms. The sublime poems of Kebir and Amir Khosrow come to life through our musicians' inspired singing and improvisation. Our guests from India, Dhruba Ghosh - one of the world's great sarangi virtuosos - and Ravi Naimpally on tablas, will be joining our ensemble, along with composer Sandeep Bhagwati, who has composed a new work especially for this concert.
