The Meridianum Ensemble is a trans-cultural musical collaboration, bringing together musicians from Portugal, the UK, and Morocco. The six musicians bring their individual styles to the mix – Arabic oud from Morocco, Middle-Eastern percussion, original compositions for the Persian santur & Swedish nyckelharpa, traditional music from Europe with hurdy-gurdy & cittern, all inspired by dance tunes ranging from the Eastern Mediterranean to Portugal and beyond. The result is a glorious infusion that will entrance audiences everywhere.
