“From the source to the ear”
A salon and exclusive acoustic concerts without microphones Both ancient and traditional music share a common pursuit of original timbre and unusual sound colors that defy our habitual listening… and would be lost if filtered through a microphone.
CantoMundi joins musicians who advocate for the preservation of living and dynamic roots. Ancient and traditional music needs to be heard in the intimacy of a direct encounter with sound—a true sound—straight from the source to the ear.
To allow the flower of ancient and traditional music to blossom, attention must be given to their roots… and roots need shade.
Here, the timbre of an instrument is like a fragrance that travels directly from the flower to the nose. At CantoMundi, music will travel from the instrument to the ear without passing through laborious wires and filters.
