From Algeria to Syria

,

Crossed music

This concert was born from the meeting between Amine Soufari, Algerian orchestra and choir director and Brigitte Cirla, choir director in Marseille, and their common love for oriental music. It is a dream of fraternity, freedom and exchange. Joy, celebration, dancing but also sweetness and nostalgia are the emotions that we want to share with the public.

“Dune Rive à l’Autre” ensemble, directed by Amine, is made up of 25 choristers and 18 instrumentalists who rehearse every month in Lasalle (30140)

Ensembles « Les MardiSonnants » and « La Belle Equipe », are a cappella choirs (of 25 and 6 choristers) from the Indéchiffrables association, directed by Brigitte and based at La Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille.

A meeting between Amine Soufari, choir and orchestra director of the “Dune rive à l’Autre” ensemble, and Brigitte Cirla, choir director of “MardiSonnants” and “la Belle Equipe”
