Early Baroque Music meets Mediterranian Traditional Songs

Greek, Sephardic, Calabrian, Lebanese, Turkish, Apulian, Portuguese, Armenian traditional and improvised music

The Mediterranean region as a cultural melting pot: along with baroque music by Cavalli, Grandi and Rossi, traditional Sephardic music, songs from Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon and Armenia as well as Portuguese Fado are performed. The viola da gamba as the instrument of the finest sensitivity is grounded here by traditional music of the Mediterranean: Friederike Heumann and the Turkish singer Nihan Devecioglu explore together with the Catalan lutenist Xavier Díaz-Latorre new means of expression of Mediterranean soundscapes - as sensual and beguiling as the spices and scents of the Orient.

“The joy of playing, sense of sound and sense of style, both vocally and instrumentally, is breath-taking.  …after 67 highly impressive minutes you have two options: sit dreamily and savour the silence, still fully immersed in the atmosphere of the music, or restart the CD immediately.”

For 18 years, I have been away from my Home and following my Voice... I have created a new Home on my Path through music and my friends.

"Urban Lullabies" is about friendship, home and honoring the past in the present.
