    ENSEMBLE MED

    The Ensemble Med [med: Mediterranean / medieval] arose on April 2012 within the Department of Early Music of Hogeschool voor of Kunsten Utrecht, Netherlands, under the artistic direction of Daniela Tomaz (flutes). The ensemble (in illo tempore “Tre Fontane”) arose from the interpretation of the homonymous piece, the Istampitta Tre Fontane, the driver of a new interpretive look at the music of this period, between the written tradition and oral tradition.
    It has been presented regularly to the public with diverse formations, highlighting musicians like Yenisey Gomez (singer), Ilil Danin (organetto) and Jornt Duyx (darbouka). It participated in several early music festivals in this country, highlighting: Kamermuziek Dag in Nikolaikerk, Utrecht (June 2012), the Summer Season of Catharijn Museum, Utrecht (August 2012) and the Open Blokfluit Dagen Amsterdam Festival (October 2012), representing the Hogeschool voor of Kunsten Utrecht.

    In 2014, it presents in duet at the invitation of Barend Tobe Cultural Connections Company in Utrecht, where prepares a program focused on the Sephardic, Christian and Arabic legacy from the Mediterranean basin, joining Daniela Tomaz with the acclaimed Dider François. They will also perform in the concert in the Castle Church, on August 2014, in Castro Marim.

    The Ensemble Med, from its beginnings, is looking for inspiration this delicate point of contact between the universes of the historically informed early music and the historically informed traditional music, looking for their own living and current interpretation of the music with European medieval origin, held around the Iberia and the surrounding regions of the Mediterranean Sea, in a multicultural and multidisciplinary approach between the Christian, Arabic and Sephardic legacy.

    SYMBIOSIS

    This musical project is a mix of two very different musical instruments: the violin, with its deep-rooted connection in the classical music and the accordion, which comes from a tendentiously more traditional context. Lilia Donkova, the acclaimed international violinist with several awards in her music curriculum and a high-quality academic training, joins the Algarvian accordionist Gonçalo Pescada to uniquely perform some of the most famous pieces by A. Piazzolla, some standards by G. Gershwin, as well as two pieces by classical authors which were written for this type of training.
