About

Lila Hajosi - Director Sacred Music on the shores of the Great Schism Vocal ensemble a cappella. The Irini ensemble founded in 2014 by Lila Hajosi is a polymorphic vocal ensemble favoring a cappella work, attached to creating “free links” between time and musical areas, ranging from the European Middle Ages to Byzantine music, to creation contemporary, and from the shores of the Fertile Crescent to the court of Bavaria via Constantinople. Winner of the Cité de la Voix de Vézelay, the ensemble is invited to prestigious festivals such as the Festival de Radiofrance Montpellier, Sacred Arts of Perpignan and Evron, Voix et Routes Romanes, Sinfonia en Périgord, or those of the Abbey of Sylvanès or Mont St Michel. Her first female trio program "Maria Nostra" gave birth in 2018 to her first self-titled album recorded at the Cité de la Voix for the fingerprint which was awarded a "Shock" by Classica magazine. In 2018, the composer Zad Moultaka created Quel mystère que tu aies un corps for Irini (commissioned by the Chaillol festival) and Casus Ade in 2022. Attached to promoting early music and appropriating repertoires that are little represented, it is towards Christian Mysticism that the Irini ensemble turns with "O Sidera" through the figures of the Sibyls, the Cherubim, the Mystery of the Incarnation, around the divine “Great Unknowable”, where reason is lost and where spirit and music take the paths of dreams. This mixed quintet program puts the Prophecies of the Sibyls by Roland de Lassus into perspective with extracts from the Byzantine repertoire.
