Idrîsî Ensemble
named after a Muslim cartographer who travelled to Sicily and created a revolutionary world map representing both the West and East, Idrîsî Ensemble is a medieval project that is drawn to the inter-connectedness of our lands.
Idrîsî Ensemble specialises in developing a new performance practice of troubadour music, using principles of tuning and ornamentation found in Old Roman, Byzantine, and Mediterranean repertoires, striving to go beyond the myths of foundational purity and towards a cultural syncretism embodied in manuscripts and ancient practices.
