Trobairitz
Association Samai Sounds
CONCERT | COMMISSION | TOUR | EDUCATIONAL PROJECT
This creative project brings together Franco-Lebanese composer and violinist Layale Chaker, the UK-based Idrîsî Ensemble, and Irish musician Francesco Turrisi around the medieval female figure of the trobairitz. Blending early and contemporary music, the project explores Mediterranean traditions through a decolonial and feminist lens. Concerts are scheduled in France, the UK, and Ireland.
“The project imagines the Mediterranean not as a fixed archive, but as a space of porous listening - where forgotten songs return and ancient texts find new tongues.”
