DESCRIPTION:
Izar Melting Pot Ensemble: Koncertkirken January 2013
A melting pot of cultures and history
Medieval, Renaissance, Middle East and Nordic compositions ...... plus improvisation in one.

Izar plays both catchy and complex medieval, renaissance and Middle East compositions a.o. from an approximately 600 years old Italian source, the French medieval source 'Manuscript du Roi' and from arabic traditions. To this, the ensemble adds melodies from Nordic folk and mixes it all with improvisation. The music communicates over a period of approximately 1000 years. Ancient dance, swing and folk assimilate with present aesthetics and improvisation.

By recreating the music from the early renaissance Italian melting pot, Izar passes on an important musical essence which especially today in our globalized world makes good sense to listen to. It'll help us to approximate and to develop an abstract understanding of the tendencies and possibilities of our present globalized world.
