NEW PROGRAM! Persian music trio Constantinople makes its Middlebury debut in a special culture-spanning program, a poetic encounter between strings (setar, viola de gamba), percussion, and voice, blending music from the Persian, Mediterranean, and Baroque traditions. “…an intriguing East-meets-West quality suggested by the juxtaposition of the gamba and the Persian instruments”—New York Times. Due to international visa complications, previously announced kora player Ablaye Cissoko will be unable to join us. Sponsored by the Performing Arts Series. The program is approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes. Tickets: Public $20, College ID holders $15, Students $6
Also new: the trio will offer an introduction to their music, instruments, and their unique collaborations in a pre-concert lecture/demonstration with Didem Basar on the Turkish kanun. 7:00 PM at the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Robison Hall. Free
