About
A Mediterranean music concert at the Église Sainte-Croix de Celleneuve in Montpellier, featuring the multilingual creation 'Nashaq' by Marie Trezanini and ensemble, blending Arabic, Sephardic, Persian, Greek, Turkish and Kurdish musical influences.
The city of Montpellier celebrates its rich Mediterranean cultural identity through a concert drawing on traditional Arabic, Sephardic, Persian, Greek, Turkish and Kurdish musical traditions. The programme centres on 'Nashaq', a multilingual original creation whose title means 'the kiss' in Aramaic — evoking both its carnal and spiritual dimensions — and stands as an ode to multicultural humanity.
The ensemble features Marie Trezanini on composition, singing and poetry, Anne-Marie Regnault on violin, Ariane Lallemand on cello, John Samy on ney, and Youssef Hbeisch on percussions.
The concert takes place at the historic Église Sainte-Croix de Celleneuve in Montpellier, as part of the European Heritage Days 2026.
