Musical Conversations across the Indian Ocean
This new collaborative project is inspired by sublime Iberian and Indian music from the early 1500s. Portuguese missionaries and Goan Indians joined together in music as churches, built in the exotic land known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, resounded to the extraordinary blended sounds of Europe and Asia. The four male voices of the Orlando Consort are joined by three leading Indian musicians to re-create this historical cross-cultural encounter and apply their collective experiences, creating a radical and challenging new dialogue for this London première.
