Passionate about travel, Saint-Saëns was strongly influenced by the cultural diversity he encountered in North Africa. Zahia Ziouani, as one immersed in these twin cultures herself, is able to shed new light on the composer’s travel-inspired works by reflecting them through the prism of the Algerian musical styles of Francisco Salvador-Daniel and Idir, as well as performing in the company of Rachid Brahim-Djelloul, Fettouma Ziouani and guest soloists. A fascinating musical dialogue!
