Orpheus XXI: Music of the Near East at Aix International Festival

Over het evenement

Discover a classical tradition beyond the West, as Jordi Savalls' 'Orpheus XXI' project brings Syrian Ney expert Moslem Rahal and his colleagues to Aix.

The project seeks to support musicians who have sought refuge from violence and disruption in their home countries. Offering high‐profile performance opportunities alongside training and integration assistance, the projects' objective, besides its humanitarian goals, is the preservation and dissemination of musical traditions at risk of extinction.
