About this concert
Everywhere, from time immemorial, the Word has been embodied by the bard, the troubadour, the griot. These wordsmiths, at once messengers and peacemakers, are the links with the forces of nature, the inexpressible divine, the memory of the ancients. It falls to them to maintain the realm of the collective soul.
Nowadays, these freethinkers and travellers are making the world their garden… Like Constantinople’s musicians and Ablaye Cissoko, griot from Saint-Louis, Senegal, all eternally migrating birds. This meeting between Ablaye and Constantinople, between strings and vocals, goes back in time to evoke the beauty of being. It is a joint passage through the common sites of the imagination, like a long breath before the inexorable march of the world and time.
From the start, this dialogue between the kora and the setar seemed to come from the depths of the earth, as though these instruments, along with the double bass and percussion, had always existed side by side. This natural symbiosis gave us wings to fly towards distant horizons, and our music has been heard over one hundred time in various festivals and halls around the world.
This exceptional harmony that exists today between our music and our selves has allowed us to create works inspired by our inner gardens and shared voyages, which we present to you with this concert.

Constantinople Biography
Constantinople, c’est l’histoire d’un ensemble musical qui a choisi de faire du voyage son fondement – voyage géographique, historique, culturel, intérieur –, de s’abreuver à toutes les sources, de viser les horizons lointains.
Empruntant son nom à l’ancienne cité phare éclairant l’Orient et l’Occident, l’ensemble a été imaginé comme un espace de rencontres et de métissages en 1998 à Montréal. Depuis, l’ensemble ne cesse d’explorer les pistes, en migrateur aguerri : des manuscrits médiévaux à l’esthétique contemporaine, de l’Europe méditerranéenne à l’Orient, en passant par les espaces libres du Nouveau Monde baroque.
Dans une optique de recherche et de création, Constantinople s’associe à d’autres artistes incontournables de la scène internationale. Le dénominateur commun des musiques réunies par Constantinople est non seulement leur expression modale, mais également l’aspect éminemment contemporain et donc fédérateur de leur langage.
Parallèlement à ses tournées en Europe, en Orient et en Amérique, Constantinople présente chaque année une saison montréalaise de concerts, constituée de créations. La plupart de ces concerts ont été enregistrés et diffusés par Radio-Canada et l’ensemble compte à son actif seize disques sous étiquettes Analekta, Atma, World Village, Buda Musique et MaCase. Il est par ailleurs largement soutenu par le Conseil des arts du Canada, le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec ainsi que le Conseil des arts de Montréal.
Au cours de la dernière décennie, Constantinople aura développé plus de 40 créations et voyagé dans près de 125 villes à travers 25 pays.
Constantinople is a musical ensemble that chose the journey as its foundation—geographical journeys, but also historical, cultural and inner. It also seeks inspiration from all sources, and aims for distant horizons.
Inspired by the ancient city illuminating East and West, the ensemble was conceived as a forum for encounters and cross-fertilization in 1998, in Montreal. Since then, as seasoned travelers, the musicians of the ensemble have explored a wide range of musical avenues: from mediaeval manuscripts to contemporary aesthetics, from Mediterranean Europe to Eastern traditions and New World Baroque.
In its research and creations, Constantinople joins forces with other leading figures on the international scene. The common denominator that Constantinople brings into play when merging different musical styles is their modal expression, but also their decidedly contemporary—and thus unifying—language.
Alongside its tours in Europe, Middle East and America, Constantinople presents every year a concert season in Montreal, featuring new works. Most of its productions have been recorded and broadcast by CBC/Radio-Canada, and some have been relayed to European audiences via the European Broadcasting Union. Constantinople has 16 albums to its credit on labels Analekta, Atma, World Village, Buda Musique et MaCase. The ensemble is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec, and the Conseil des arts de Montréal.
Over the course of the decade, the ensemble has created over 40 new works and travelled to nearly 125 cities in 25 countries.
