All three soloists are specialists in their fields: Marine Sablonnière in medieval music, Henri Tournier in North Indian music, and Isabelle Courroy in the pastoral music of the Balkans and Anatolia, deploying the concept of oblique music that brings together music of creation and tradition. The result is a conversation that links times and places, genres and aesthetics. To the audience's delight, their joyful, multi-faceted music takes us beyond the boundaries of time and space.
