As the name of the program suggests, four voices are sometimes not enough for creative and virtuoso saxophonists from the BL! NDMAN quartet. The "Multiple voice" program presents the jewels of an inexhaustible source of Franco-Flemish polyphony from the 12th to the 16th century, complemented by three contemporary compositions. Cannons of up to 36 voices will be heard during the evening; The reproduction of melodic lines will be the work of the artistic director and founder of the ensemble, Eric Sleichim, who will play with the sound of saxophones in real time and the unique space of the Bystřice church at the mixing desk.
