XVIII-21, Le Baroque Nomade (FR)

Travels are an integral part of the musical approach of XVIII-21 Le Baroque Nomade. Every single time, the meetings are memorable: the concert in Kabul with Afghan musicians, right after the lifting of Taliban music prohibition will remain an unforgettable memory. A lasting cooperation with Chinese artists has allowed the cultures to observe, understand each other before attempting common experiences. A six yearlong partnership, still going on, with l’AGORA-La Marsa, in Tunisia, created the possibility of long term project about the musical exchanges between both banks of Mediterranean Sea. 15 years of common experience with Romanian/Hungarian artists from Transylvania led to a European international project, built by the cultural centre of Gödöllö Castel in Hungary, together with other partners. The musicological rigour must go hand in hand with a great vivacity on stage, XVIII-21 Le Baroque Nomade therefore attaches a great importance to the intensity of its concerts to make them unique, singular: presence of the dancer Merlin Nyakam, staging, interactions with the public, etc. We need it now more than ever, XVIII-21 Le Baroque Nomade keeps using music as a social link, a hyphen between cultures to keep bringing people together, to encourage understanding, dialogue, and peace. XVIII-21 Le Baroque Nomade already gave hundreds of concerts in France and abroad, in more than 45 countries, and published more than twenty critically acclaimed CDs: Télérama, France Musique, nomination to the « Victoires de la Musique », Classic News, Classica, Le Monde, Diapason, La Terrasse, etc. https://xviii-21.com/
