Idrîsî Ensemble explores medieval textuality and orality in a unique program of rare, endangered and never-recorded music. Old Roman chant, early polyphony, troubadour song, Corsican, Greek, and Algerian traditions intersect and offer the vision of a shared Mediterranean heritage. Idrîsî chorus and instrumentalists (vielle, qanun, ney, portative organ) journey across a millennium, from the 4th to the 14th century. Navigating the dynamic between singer and scribe, they explore new frontiers in the performance of identity.
Doors open at 5pm and the concert begins at 5.30pm
