Ensemble Diwan
The Diwan ensemble is a multiethnic ensemble which seeks to explore ancient and modern repertoires, beyond the limits of cultural boundaries, knowledge and times.Originally conceived as a collaborative project of the HEM and the Arab Music Department of the Edward Said National Music Conservatory of Palestine, Dīwān subsequently opened itself to other international collaborations. The selected repertoires focus mostly on music of the Mediterranean, but sometimes travel elsewhere, thus forging ties between musical cultures which seem very distant, only to reveal, sometimes surprisingly, the many common features they share.
