CONSTANTINOPLE - Kiya Tabassian & A Filetta - Clair-Obscur

Concert presented and recorded on 11 December 2021, in Montreal, Salle Bourgie, part of 20th Concert Season of Constantinople. Between sea and mountains, between eastern modes and polyphony — Clair-obscur is born of the desire for deeper dialogue on the part both of the musicians of Constantinople and the singers of A Filetta, the preeminent ensemble of Corsican polyphony. They have created a poetic and musical suite, mixing polyphonies and songs rooted in their traditions and repertoires. Entre mer et montagnes, modalité et polyphonies, Clair-obscur est né du désir d’un dialogue approfondi entre les musiciens de Constantinople et les chanteurs d’A Filetta, l’ensemble phare des polyphonies corse. Une suite poétique et musicale a ainsi été imaginée, entremêlant les polyphonies créées par les chanteurs érudits d’A Filetta aux chants et musiques composés et orchestrés par Kiya Tabassian.
