In 2014, ten Montréal musicians, each from another tradition, came together to re-imagine an iconic work by Claude Vivier. They re-arranged Vivier's score, rendered his melodies in their own manner, improvised around his music, and remembered their own traditional music through Vivier's composition. This album is a composite selection of live recordings from various concerts of this project since 2015. Constantinople is a musical ensemble that chose the journey-geographical certainly, but also historical, cultural and inner-as it's cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and aims for distant horizons. Inspired by the ancient city illuminating the East and West, Constantinople was founded in 1998 in Montreal by it's artistic director, Kiya Tabassian.
