 3-01-27\n\n&ldquo\;You can't build a wall around music!&rdquo\; Six expert
  performers from D&uuml\;nya\, an adventurous early-music ensemble\, trans
 port us to Istanbul in the 16th to 18th centuries\, where currents from th
 e East and West met and mingled. Unexpected encounters are portrayed\, dra
 wn from a wide array of materials: European travelers' accounts\; the uniq
 ue manuscript of a 17th-century Polish convert to Islam (a sultan's music 
 director)\; popular\, courtly\, and religious music from East and West\; a
 nd Ottoman music transcribed by Europeans. The performers sing and play an
  astonishing number of remarkable instruments\, some lovingly recreated on
  the basis on miniature paintings from a lost world. They include the exot
 ic Ottoman harp and the Turkish forerunner of the lute\, as well as winds\
 , viola da gamba\, and percussion. &ldquo\;D&uuml\;nya&rdquo\; means 'Worl
 d' in several languages. Joint us for a glimpse of the colorful world of o
 ld Istanbul! Reception follows.
