About this concert
“And just like the seasons shift you’d always change your mind…” (Meskerem Mees)
With an exquisite collective of musicians, Zefiro Torna gives a new musical interpretation to the Yuletide festival and the period of the winter solstice.
The authentic voices of internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Meskerem Mees and top soprano Lore Binon resonate in a cycle of pagan ‘light’ songs, medieval and Baroque Christmas music, 19th and 20thC music, and songs by Meskerem Mees. Piano wizard and composer Jean-Luc Fafchamps wrote contemporary arrangements for the ensemble for a special set of instruments featuring folk guitar, violin, theorbo, lute, cimbalom, percussion and prepared piano .
The musical keywords are friction and upheaval. Meskerem Mees’ soulful voice and Lore Binon’s pure classical voice become polymorphously intertwined. Instruments with different historical backgrounds and temperaments clash and seek harmonic agreement.
