Following our highly successful ‘Old Worlds and New’ project in 2024, we now continue our journey eastwards to explore the historical musical worlds of current-day Greece, Syria and Persia, amid the overarching influence of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires. We will weave a narrative in music and words telling of this time and of travelling musicians, exchange of arts and instruments, and the diasporas from religious persecution.
