In the Footsteps of the Griot, Senegalese, Persian, Yemeni, Kurdish musics and more
Music & Beyond will be welcoming back the bold musical pairing of Constantinople and Ablaye Cissoko, "In the Footsteps of the Griot" on November 16th at the Horticulture building at Landsowne Park. I still recall their first appearance in Ottawa in 2013, they had just started their collaboration, and the extremely unlikely mix of Persian and Mande music was surprising and intoxicating. It is wonderful to see such an unusual pairing mature and grown in depth.
We will start with their collaboration and follow with music from Senegal, Kurdish music from Turkey and Iran, and Yemeni music.

| The Royal Winnipeg Ballet will be in town at the NAC in November, and what really interests me is they are dancing to Monteverdi's "Vespers -della Beata Virginie". This was Monteverdi's largest scale sacred work, incredibly ambitious and virtuosic and gorgeous. The NAC Orchestra joined by the choir and soloists of the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal will be accompanying with the complete Vespers. This is an extremely rare piece to hear live in its entirety in Ottawa! And to choreograph dance to it? It would be like choreographing dance to Bach's Mass in b minor. Fascinating! Playing Nov. 1-3
https://nac-cna.ca/en/event/18651 Obviously we do not have time to hear the whole piece, but we will hear the Magnificat which concludes the Vespers. |
