Ville Marie Presents: Centre des musiciens du monde - Carnets de soie : echoes from east to west

Musicians Ran Wang and Annette Bauer cross the Silk Road from east to west, from China to Italy via India.

Tickets - Free admission

Description

The program is inspired by different physical and emotional landscapes that an imaginary traveler might encounter – from the observation of deeply moving beauty in unfamiliar landscapes, to the boldness of a long journey, to the loneliness a traveler can feel away from home. Above all, their musical journey is a conversation between the sounds of their instruments and the multiple vibrations of their strings, leaving room for improvisation and exploration of the unknown.

The audience is invited to follow a geographical route from China to Italy via India, also forging links between different historical periods by presenting music from the ancient Han Dynasty (200 BC - 9 AD) to music from the nascent European Renaissance in early fifteenth century Italy.
