Marmoucha Orchestra & Maripepa Contreras: Sexi Firmum Iulium

The visuals are created by artist Toni Geitani from Lebanon, that is historically connected to Phoenicia, the same civilization that founded Sexi. Together with the Marmoucha Orchestra they will create a live experience fusing audio with visuals, past with present, Almuñécar with Amsterdam. As its artisitic coördinator and arranger, Maripepa Contreras is one of the founding musicians of the Marmoucha Orchestra, the Amsterdam-based ensemble that brings together jazz, global and composed music in organic ways.

Sexi Firmum Iulium is made possible (in part) by the AFK (Amsterdam Fund for the Arts) and FPK (Fonds Podiumkunsten).
