Migration Routes is a musical project based on the dialogue between the musical richness created by the multiculturalism of the Anatolian geography and contemporary jazz. The project was born from a meeting between the Italian pianist Stefano Maurizi with Coşkun Karademır, a great exponents of the Turkish World Music, who gave life to an exciting album of absolute expressive depth.
The music of Migration Routes is based on melodic interactions that arise from ancient spiritual sounds of Anatolia that at the same time leave ample room for variations and improvisations of the musicians. For this unique concert, Stefano Maurizi on piano and Coşkun Karademır on kopuz and vocals are joined by a special guest: Stefano “Cocco” Cantini, a famous Italian saxophonist, on soprano sax and Etruscan suplu.
Musicus Concentus proposes the concert in the Cloister of the Convent of Piazza del Carmine, a courtyard that is preserved as one of the lesser-known corners of the Oltrarno, a place generally “passing through” that connects Piazza del Carmine to the Brancacci Chapel, but that-perhaps precisely for this reason-preserves an authentic and unartificial charm.
Once a year, only for the Secret Florence Festival, the Cloister is rediscovered by residents, citizens and tourists, who can appreciate it from another point of view: no longer as a “corridor” but as a place devoted to music and entertainment. Perfect example of an unexplored space, which for one day leaves its primary function to host contemporary music performances.
Secret Florence is an established festival of the Estate Fiorentina, produced together by Tempo Reale, Musicus Concentus, Lo Schermo dell’Arte, Fabbrica Europa and Centro Nazionale Produzione Danza Virgilio Sieni.
Thanks to the Florentine Civic Museums and the Community of the Carmelite Fathers of the Convent of the Carmine for their support.
