Description du concert
In Song of the Reed, the Calefax reed quintet meets one of Iran’s most famous singers, Mohammad Motamedi. Together, the musicians present a cross-pollination of traditional Iranian songs and instrumental classical music. Centuries-old Persian poetry serves as a wellspring of inspiration for Iranian songs. Motamedi excels in the art of weaving graceful melodies around these verses. The programme is about the feeling of homesickness for the place one comes from. Song of the Reed is a poem of the same name by 13th-century mystic poet Rumi, which describes the pain of those who are cut off from their home, like a reed cut from its reed bed.

Biographie de Duke Ellington & His Orchestra
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (29 April, 1899 - 24 May, 1974), also known as simply "Duke", was an American jazz composer, pianist, and bandleader.
Through the ranks of Duke Ellington's Orchestra passed some of the biggest names in jazz, including Johnny Hodges, Cootie Williams, Bubber Miley, Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton, Barney Bigard, Ben Webster, Harry Carney, Sonny Greer, Otto Hardwick, Clark Terry, Jimmy Blanton, Ray Nance, Paul Gonsalves, and Wellman Braud. Many musicians stayed with him for decades. And while all of them were remarkable in their own right, and they all would have probably made it into the annals of jazz history no matter who they played for, it was Ellington's genius as a composer, pianist, bandleader, celebrity personality, and, most importantly, arranger, that made them the most incredible orchestral unit in the history of jazz. His ability to write and arrange for personalities, rather than instruments, made every solo and every section of every arrangement breathe with character. A giant on the 20th century American cultural scene, Duke Ellington was widely regarded as a legend during his own lifetime.
