A spellbinding musical encounter from the time of Suleiman the Magnificent. Canticum Novum reveals the rich legacy of 16th-century monophonic songs from the frontiers between Europe and the Middle East, unfolding them in a series of dazzling improvisations like so many variations on this meeting of peoples.

Canticum Novum is based in the Loire department in France and has been resident at the Opera Theatre de Saint-Etienne since 2007. The ensemble was founded by Emmanuel Bardon in 1996.
