Greek composer Kyriakos Kalaitzidis has been inspired since reading of Marco Polo's grand travels from Venice through modern-day Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tadjikistan, China, Burma and back, to portray such a voyage musically. He has created this musical journey with the help of many musicians including his ensemble En Chordais and Canada's Ensemble Constantinople featuring a wide range of musical backgrounds from Greece, Iran, Italy, India, China, Mongolia, Uzbekistan.
We will also hear music from master Wu Man and her gorgeous collaborations with Uyghur and Tajik musicians as well as other music from Xinjiang and Central Asia including Nodira Pirmatova, Uzbek singer and instrumentalist who also appears on Kyriakos Kalaidzidis' new album.
