The Atlas Ensemble and renowned cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras will perform the brand new programme Nomads. In this work, composed and curated by Joël Bons, the cellist will enter into dialogues with instruments from different cultures. Queyras meets musicians like the Indian sarangi master Dhruba Ghosh, Turkish Neva Özgen on kemençe, Azerbaijani kamancha virtuoso Elshan Mansurov, the Persian setar player Kiya Tabassian, Chinese sheng phenomenon Wu Wei and the Japanese sh? magician Naomi Sato. Thus, a continuous stream of one hour of music conducted by Ed Spanjaard will form a richly varied mosaic.
