Idrîsî Ensemble

Pioneering a fresh approach to historical performance, Idrîsî Ensemble performs medieval repertoire from period manuscripts alongside UNESCO-protected and endangered traditions. They sing the Mediterranean not as a border between fixed identities, but as a space of exchange, communion and evolution. Grounded in research across medieval literature, music, archaeology and postcolonial historiography, their work complicates inherited ideas of identity and alterity and asks what early music can sound like, and who it belongs to.
