Traversées is a musical journey from Asia to the New World through Africa—a dialogue of deep layers of musical conversations and exceptional harmony between Persian Setar master Kiya Tabassian, and Senegalese and Kora master and Griot, Ablaye Cissoko, supported by percussionist Patrick Graham.
Join SFEMS in a musical journey with Montreal-based Ensemble Constantinople, an ensemble at the crossroads of artistic encounters; drawing from the heritage of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, from Europe to the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
