Description
Since time immemorial, music and poetry have been the bridge between cultures, a universal language that transcends borders and unites hearts. Looking for New Horizons is a musical journey spanning from the rugged fjords of Norway to the mystical lands of the Ottoman Empire—a journey through time and sound, echoing the steps of medieval travelers, pilgrims, poets, and minstrels who once wandered these paths.
At the heart of this odyssey stand Arianna Savall, with her celestial soprano voice, harp, and lyre, Petter Udland Johansen, whose tenor voice, traditional violin, Hardanger fiddle, guiterne, and lyra embody the spirit of the Norsemen and Tristan Driessens whose musi- cianship has profound ability to build bridges between musical genres. Together with Derya Türkan’s haunting kemençe, they embark on a journey that transcends boundaries and eras.
