We represent a vivid multicultural dialogue between Western and Eastern musical, poetical and dance traditions from Baroque period to the present. The concert programme consists of European Baroque music pearls composed by Henry Purcell, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Gaspar Sanz, Claudio Monteverdi and Girolamo Kapsberger and of Persian, Arabic, Sephardic and Ottomanic music jewels from the same period composed by Ali Ufki Bey aka Wojciech Bobowski from Poland and Moldavian prince Dimitrie Cantemir who both worked at Sultan’s Ottomanic court in Istanbul and other anonymous Oriental composers. Our musical performance is enriched by English, Italian, Farsi, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew and Slavic lyrics. Even more, it is enriched also by Oriental dance, moving improvisations, genuine stylistic nuances and arrangements on authentic instruments from both traditions including Barogue strings, recordes, lutes and guitars as well as Oriental plucked instruments and percussion including Arabic oud, saz bağlama, Turkish timpani kudüm and Persian daf. In short the performance is a fascinating musical offering to our contemporary multicultural European audience which enables us to better understand our own Western culture in an open dialogue with the rich complexity of Oriental music, poetry and dance.
