Building musical bridges between traditions is at the very core of Constantinople, the ensemble we founded over twenty years ago. This is the mission we are dedicated to pursuing, the principle that guides us: to explore music from today and from times long past, from here and from faraway places.
The bridge imagined by Leonardo da Vinci was the spark that ignited this musical program. The music of the two cultural spheres he sought to connect with this impressive work of architecture enters into dialogue here, creating a unique and expressive soundscape that brings the bridge he dreamed about to life.
Together with my colleague and dear friend Marco Beasley we have made a careful selection of compositions - inspiring, musical, poetic - from the time of Leonardo da Vinci. The foundation of our bridge is made up of pieces and poems taken from manuscripts and printed works of the era: from Italian frottole from the 15th and 16th century to Genovese songs, from Ottoman instrumental compositions to Persian poems by Hafez, Rumi and Amir Khosrow. We then navigated between these works, defining their stylistic boundaries in order to find the passageways between them and to create a true encounter and dialogue which goes beyond a mere juxtaposition of repertoire.
And so the bridge imagined and drawn over 500 years ago by the genius Leonardo da Vinci has now been redrawn and erected in music and song through the human and artistic encounter that took place between the eight musicians who contributed to this project. It is our hope that this bridge will be travelled and crossed many times by you, who listen to this concert, and by the inhabitants of both shores, in all senses.

Avec ce concert, Constantinople et Marco Beasley recréent en musique le pont dessiné par Leonardo da Vinci en 1502. Ce pont devait être le pont le plus long et audacieux de l’époque, en réunissant l’Europe et l’Asie au-dessus du Bosphore. Il n’a cependant jamais vu le jour et les plans sont restés dans les archives de l’artiste. Cinq siècles plus tard, Tabassian et Beasley ré-imaginent ce pont, avec des œuvres musicales tirées de manuscrits des XVIe et XVIIe siècles reposant dans les bibliothèques. - Hudba
A truly beautiful performance. That singer, Marco Beasley, is the ideal voice and presence for this music. He is everyone at once, our collective soul. A very deep experience.
Fantastic, thank you for bringing it here for those who couldn't be there live. Greetings nad wishes of thousand concert nights like this!
BRAVI, BRAVISSIMI

This would be a fabulous soundtrack to a cinematic thriller.
That recorder player really knows how to shred it.
Благодарю вас за это прекрасное выступление! Я в восторге!
"Il ponte di Leonardo" (Da Vinci's Bridge) is a reference to a bridge that Leonardo da Vinci designed in 1502. It was supposed to be the longest bridge of that time and to span the Bosporus strait and thus link Europe and Asia. So much like that bridge, the music here wishes to build a bridge between Europe (Italy) and Asia (Persia).
Eh sì, non ci resta che sperare nella musica…
