Bach & Khayyam
Description
This performance is part of the Constantinople 2023/2024 season at the Aga Khan Museum. Enjoy all three performances and save by purchasing a package.
Imagine the unlikely meeting of two extraordinary men whose visions were characterized by the depth of their spirituality: the Persian poet and scholar Omar Khayyam (1048-1131) and the composer Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750).
In this performance of sonic wonder, Constantinople performs arrangements of some of the most exquisite and spiritual songs and arias of Johann Sebastian Bach in a dialogue with the poems of Omar Khayyam. Constantinople will present these songs in Persian in response to Bach's arias by soprano Hana Blažíková, one of the most splendid interpreters of Bach's music.
