Dialogos: Holland Baroque & Ensemble Constantinople

This special meeting is the starting point of the musical encounter between the musicians of ensembles Constantinople and Holland Baroque. Together, they float between old and new music, improvisations and compositions, the Far East and the West. A call for international dialogue and peace.

Ensemble Constantinople, founded by current artistic leader Kiya Tabassian, has chosen the journey – geographically certainly, but also historically, culturally, and internally – as its cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and focuses on distant horizons.

Holland Baroque builds bridges between styles and cultures through its free-spirited and open-minded approach. Driven by an inexhaustible curiosity, the ensemble approaches the score as an unfinished work of art: combining knowledge, expertise, imagination, and playfulness to transform baroque music into a fresh and vibrant experience. Both ensembles repeatedly demonstrate that curiosity, research, and creativity lead to truly unique programmes.
