The Ancient, The New, The Faraway
This series is dedicated to early music and contemporary music, featuring composers and programs beyond the traditional repertoire. Early music is performed with historically informed interpretations, while contemporary music is presented in its many forms by artists specialized in this repertoire.
For the second time, the program expands to embrace a global perspective, incorporating traditional music from diverse cultures.
