Constantinople was along the centuries the center of the liturgical and musical tradition called "Byzantine", which, after the capture of the city by the Ottoman in 1453, lived in harmony with the Islamic musical tradition, coming up today. Such an intercultural and interreligious environment will relive in the rare meeting between these ensemble directed by the main personalities of the two traditions.
