Description
[Machine Translation] Coffee was known as a "rare beverage" in Europe at the beginning of the 17th century. However, Pope Clement VIII was fascinated by the aroma and taste of coffee and authorized its consumption, and it spread throughout Europe via Venetian merchants. It was first popular in London and Paris, then in France, and finally in Germany. It was also very popular in Leipzig, where coffee was served in Meissen cups in coffeehouses. Bach was one of those who fell under the spell of coffee. The drink of Ottoman origin captured the hearts of the people in no time. Inspired by the exquisitely colored Damascus panels in the collection of the Folk Museum in Dresden, the members of the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra presented a concert about the cultural exchange between Europe and the Ottoman Empire. They will be joined by Trio Arabica, an ensemble of Arab musicians who will perform music that would have been played in a cafe at the time. They also performed a concert based on this concept in Canada, where it was highly acclaimed and voted one of the best concerts of 2016. The video was recorded at the Aga Khan Museum (Canada's premier museum of Islamic culture) and is a great opportunity to experience Islamic culture.
