CONCERT PROGRAMME

Lively dialogues woven through improvisation between selected works from Italian Renaissance and early Baroque vocal music and the Ottoman and Persian musical traditions

Duration: 80’ (w/o interval)

Set in the historic Grand Bazaar, a place shaped by centuries of commercial and cultural exchange, ‘Fleeting Beauties’ invites listeners to experience music as something fragile, shared, and alive in the moment. Bringing together Renaissance Italy with Ottoman and Persian traditions, the renowned ensemble Constantinople will create a space where sounds meet, transform, and briefly exist – only to leave behind a lasting trace.
