Constantinople - Cantemir, The Composer Prince

Guest presenters

In this creation, Constantinople dedicates itself to the work of Dimitrie Cantemir, an emblematic figure bridging European and Middle Eastern cultures at the dawn of the 18th century. Cantemir was not only a prince and scholar, but also a renowned composer and diplomat and transcended borders and centuries with his talent. His compositions are gems of Ottoman music, showcasing the empire's richness and diversity at its peak. Under the artistic direction of Kiya Tabassian, Constantinople will interpret Cantemir's compositions alongside works by his contemporaries like the French Marin Marais and the Italian Antonio Bertali.
