Marmoucha Orchestra

Drawing from ancient writings and musical notations, they illuminate the mysticism of ancient goddesses such as Anahita, Ishtar and Tanit. Embodied by three talented singers who express the richness of Moroccan, Iranian and Turkish/Kurdish culture. In their fascinating fusion of traditional and contemporary music, the Marmoucha Orchestra blends classical history with the present. In doing so, they give a new sound to the ancient languages & signs from the Mediterranean region.

This new program was created in collaboration with Old Roots New Routes.
