Cantu di Corsica: Polyphonic Corsican Concert at Philharmonie

An emblematic ensemble of Corsican polyphony, A Cumpagnia brings together tradition and contemporary creation in a concert that journeys through time. Featuring four singers and instrumentalists, the performance is split into two parts: Cantu Sacru, with sacred pieces reflecting the deep spirituality of Corsica, and Cantu Prufanu, presenting secular songs like paghjelle, terzetti, and lamenti that accompany daily life on the island.

The ensemble, active since 1978, cultivates the art of Corsican singing at the crossroads of traditional practice and modern creation. Each member sings and plays one or more instruments, transmitting a repertoire that is both timeless and ever-evolving. The concert takes place at the Philharmonie de Paris, a renowned venue in the 19th arrondissement, offering an intimate setting for this unique musical experience.
