Concert

In SALTWINDS & SPICE Alkemie joins forces with Rose of the Compass, featuring recorder superstar Nina Stern and Armenian-American oud-player and composer Ara Dinkjian. Together, we explore the world of medieval Cyprus, offering a window into a multiethnic entrepôt. Hear musical tales of rose-scented fountains, shrines famous for both holy relics and snake-hunting cats, and dynasties founded by mermaids. Featuring French ars subtilior music from the Cyprus Codex (MS. J.II.9) alongside Armenian, Genoese, and Greek folk music. 

​This concert will be followed by a reception with the artists featuring traditional Cypriot wines & desserts.
