Throught the Noise Presents: Idrîsî Ensemble

Choral collective Idrîsî Ensemble journey from the 4th to the 14th century, exploring a millennium of Corsican, Roman, and Greek music for six singers and kanun.

Idrîsî Ensemble explore medieval textuality and orality in a programme of rare, endangered and never-recorded music. Old Roman chant, early polyphony, Corsican and Greek traditions intersect and offer the vision of a shared Mediterranean heritage. Navigating the dynamic between singer and scribe, they explore new frontiers in the performance of identity.

For this performance, Idrîsî Ensemble director Thomas Fournil leads a group of six singers, accompanied by kanun player Konstantinos Glynos, to explore a millennium of music.
