Contemporary Music

Ancient traditions meet musical innovation as the Aga Khan Master Musicians join forces with two European musical visionaries.

Accordionist and vocalist Vincent Peirani and cellist Vincent Segal, together with the Aga Khan Master Musicians, create new music inspired by the trade routes that have connected the Mediterranean and Asia for millennia, while echoing modern perspectives.

International Festival favourite and pipa player Wu Man returns and performs alongside Basel Rajoub on saxophone and duclar, Feras Charestan on qanun and Yurdal Tokcan who plays the oud. Together, they create a vibrant explosion of sound that straddles continents and centuries.

Through experimentation and deep understanding, the Aga Khan Master Musicians, Vincent Peirani and Vincent Segal create an exciting new sound informed by their respective cultures.

At the Hub we encourage artists to offer a free, more spontaneous performance style and to introduce the music themselves. The final programme will be updated here after the event.
