                              EAST MEETS WEST

For many centuries the western world was fascinated with the culture as well as with the music of the Middle East, North
Africa and the Far East. Many medieval instruments as well as music originating in the Middle East was brought back
home to Europe by the crusaders. Marco Polo's Expedition between 1271 and 1298 plus the journals he wrote also created interest
in the Far East.
"East Meets West" explored this long time fascination, and the entire 5.5 hours was devoted to works by Middle and Far Eastern
Composers and to works by Western composers inspired by East as well as Eastern composers inspired by the West.
Some works presented on this program included unusual combinations of eastern and western musicians, ensembles and orchestras.
