Join us for a vibrant evening of discovery as the ensemble Constantinople, directed by Kiya Tabassian and charango virtuoso Federico Tarazona explore the rich musical memory of Peru.
The music of the Andes is a living bridge between worlds. It carries the soul of pre-Hispanic traditions, beautifully woven together with the instruments and melodies of those who later called this land home. The result is a magnificent tapestry of sound, spanning from the hidden gems of 17th and 18th-century codices to the rhythmic oral traditions that still pulse through South America today.
