This summer Mpiri will be part of two major projects that span many centuries in time and represent very different styles.
In 2012 Mpiri became part of a project called Nordic Cultural roads. A project to explore how the pilgrimmage exchanged cultures almost a millenium ago. In 2012 Mpiri were in Iceland with the ensemble Via Artis Konsort. We did some workshops with local choirs and music students and we had two concerts together. This summer Via Artis Konsort and Mpiri will have two concerts in the Tórshavn, Faroe Islands during the festival Summartónar.
Also this summer Mpiri will be on tour with the reknowned danish folk/ethno band Afenginn. Afenginn is known across Europe for it’s unique sounds and rythms. Afenginn are in a project they call Choirnevale. This has led to working with TheEstonian Womens TV Choir and the danish chamber choir Cammerata. Now the time has come to explore the north atlantic tone and vibes with Mpiri. We will be performing at G! Festival on 19. july.
We are looking forward to making great music with these two ensembles this summer, and we hope to see you all at one or more of these concerts.
