East-West Ensemble
The East-West Ensemble plays traditional music originating in the West and the East, as well as music stemming from everywhere in between. The melodies are learned by ear in a structured manner while we explore the typical style in which they are played, their ornaments and their accompaniments. We focus on the way we perform together as a group, arranging the pieces ans improvising while mixing elements from different traditions. At the end of the year we present the repertoire in various concerts.
The course
The ensemble is led by flautist Juliette Ferreira, specialising in folk music from Europe such as France, Ireland, Estonia … but also Balkan music and Scandinavia! Throughout the year, 4 guest teachers will share their knowledge of a particular musical tradition:
- Damla Aydin : Damla is a Turkish cellist specialising in Ottoman music and maqam improvisation.
- Vincent Noiret : Originally a jazz double bass player, Vincent has in recent years specialised in southern Italian and Sicilian music in his project Nisia with percussionist Emanuela Lodato.
- Shahab Azinmehr : Shahab is a tar and setar player and singer with a great knowledge of Iranian and Middle Eastern traditional music.
- Alice Loparic : Alice is a Brazilian singer who is in several projects such as Euforro, a Belgian-Brazilian group performing forro music from the north-east of Brazil.
