With this concert, Constantinople and Marco Beasley join forces to celebrate, in music, a bridge that Leonardo da Vinci designed in 1502. The longest and boldest bridge of the time, it was to span the Bosporus and thus link Europe and Asia. But it was never built; the plans, however, were preserved in the artist’s archives. Five centuries later, Tabassian and Beasley re-imagine this bridge with the help of 16th- and 17th-century works from the manuscript archives of different national libraries.
Avec ce concert, Constantinople et Marco Beasley recréent en musique le pont dessiné par Leonardo da Vinci en 1502. Ce pont devait être le pont le plus long et audacieux de l’époque, en réunissant l’Europe et l’Asie au-dessus du Bosphore. Il n’a cependant jamais vu le jour et les plans sont restés dans les archives de l’artiste. Cinq siècles plus tard, Tabassian et Beasley réimaginent ce pont, avec des œuvres musicales tirées de manuscrits des XVIe et XVIIe siècles reposant dans diverses bibliothèques nationales.
