VERSAILLES à TOPKAPI
THURSDAY 24 and FRIDAY 25 May, 2012 - 8 p.m
Chapelle historique du bon Pasteur
To close out its tenth season, Constantinople invites you to join
them on a journey from the Court of Versailles to the Topkapi Palace
seraglios of Istanbul's Ottoman sultans. This concert-dialogue, woven
around the music of two great baroque composers, Marin Marais of France
(1656-1728) and Dimitrius Cantemir of Moldavia (1673-1723), brings
together contrasting yet harmonious musical traditions through
Constantinople's remarkable arrangements and signature improvisations.
