For this third collaboration between kora master Ablaye Cissoko and Persian sétar ambassador Kiya Tabassian, the two musicians have chosen to pay homage to the estuary, that astonishing space of transition and transformation where freshwater meets saltwater and unexpected potentials are revealed.
This meeting is none other than the junction where the rivers of their musical memories meet. Like the aspirations of Constantinople, the stars align once again so that the sound of the kora, the sétar and the voices of the two accomplices give rise to musical conversations that inspire a sense of wonder, awaken the conscience and soothe the spirit. Presented by the Grand Théâtre de Québec and Constantinople. About Constantinople Borrowing its name from the ancient city that was a beacon of light between East and West, the Constantinople musical ensemble was conceived by its artistic director Kiya Tabassian as a space for musical encounters and cross-fertilization. The ensemble is dedicated to passing on the world's musical traditions, creating new music and building bridges between cultures, eras, styles and peoples the world over.
