Metamorfosi Musicali
Constantinople & Suzie Leblanc
«For all the flames of lovers, I know that
all the oceans are not enough.»  Barbara Strozzi, Cantate Sino Alla Morte
 
In this amorous program, these are the pages left by the marvellous composer and singer Barbara Strozzi and her contemporary Johannes Kapsberger that Constantinople takes the liberty of reinventing.

Canario & Colasione

Constantinople est un ensemble musical qui a choisi de faire du voyage son fondement – voyage géographique, historique, culturel, intérieur –, de s’abreuver à toutes les sources et de viser les horizons lointains. Empruntant son nom à l’ancienne cité phare éclairant l’Orient et l’Occident, l’ensemble a été imaginé comme un espace de rencontres et de métissages par son directeur artistique Kiya Tabassian et fondé en 1998 à Montréal.

Constantinople is a musical ensemble that chose the journey—geographical certainly, but also historical, cultural and inner—as its cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and aims for distant horizons. Inspired by the ancient city illuminating the East and West, Constantinople was founded in 1998 in Montreal by its artistic director, Kiya Tabassian.
