With *Kósmos!*, the Canticum Novum ensemble celebrates its 30th anniversary with a musical journey of rare intensity, delving into the very roots of the great Mediterranean and Eastern traditions. Set between the Tigris and the Euphrates, the cradle of the earliest civilizations, this program invites listeners on a journey where ancient music, sacred chants, and folk rhythms come together and engage in dialogue.

At the heart of this sonic tapestry unfolds the Song of Songs, a poem of universal love, both carnal and spiritual. Around this foundational text, Latin, Sephardic, and Eastern music intertwine, revealing the many faces of love: fervor, desire, mystery, celebration. Each piece thus becomes a fragment of a living memory, nourished by oral traditions and repertoires passed down from generation to generation.

Carried by a rich instrumental and vocal palette, Kósmos! unleashes an energy where ancient timbres meet powerful rhythmic surges. True to the spirit of Canticum Novum, this program weaves connections between cultures and eras, where music becomes a universal language of sharing and emotion.

Original compositions by Khaled Aljaramani and Landy Andriamboavonjy, wedding music and dance music from the Near and Middle East
