Singer & Scribe

Idrîsî Ensemble explores medieval textuality and orality in a unique program of rare, endangered and never-recorded music. Old Roman chant, early polyphony, troubadour song, Corsican, Greek, and Algerian traditions intersect and offer the vision of a shared Mediterranean heritage.

Idrîsî chorus and instrumentalists (vielle, qanun, ney, portative organ) journey across a millennium, from the 4th to the 14th century. Navigating the dynamic between singer and scribe, they explore new frontiers in the performance of identity.
