Pour ce concert, Constantinople prend la liberté de réinventer la musique Italienne baroque en déchiffrant les manuscrits de compositeurs tels que Kapsberger, Monteverdi et Rossi. En dialogue avec ces oeuvres, la musique de Ali Ufki, musicien de la cour Ottomane, et des compositions et arrangements de Kiya Tabassian font voyager l'Ensemble dans un univers musical captivant. Les mouvements spontanés, les contrastes prononcés et les rythmes inhabituels de ce programme fournissent un terreau fertile pour les musiciens de Constantinople, qui prennent du plaisir à s’affranchir des codes culturels de la vieille Europe.

For this concert, Ensemble Constantinople has taken the liberty of reinventing the music left by Italian early baroque composers such Kapsberger, Monteverdi and Rossi. In response to these beautiful works, Constantinople will interpret a few masterpieces from the Polish composer at the Ottoman court, Ali Ufki, as well as new compositions by Constantinople music director, Kiya Tabassian. The ensemble aims to create a dialogue that recreates the spirit of the cultural exchanges between Venice and Eastern capital cities, such as Constantinople. The spontaneous changes, sharp contrasts and unusual rhythmic groupings in this program provide fertile ground for the musicians of Constantinople, who always welcome the chance to free themselves from the cultural codes of old Europe.
