MAINE

Weaving together the shared musical pasts of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths in Medieval Spain, Sacred Bridge conveys the poignancy and hope of intersecting cultures that remains relevant today. Jewish minstrels and folk songs, Christian psalms set to music, Gregorian and Koranic chants among other forms all find new meaning when performed alongside one another. Boston Camerata’s performances are renowned for their blending of spontaneity and emotional commitment with careful research and scholarship. With its distinguished roster of singers and specialists in early instruments, the Boston Camerata tours regularly in the US and all over the world. The Camerata is joined by the Sharq Arabic Music Ensemble for this contemplative program whose interest goes well beyond its purely ecumenical qualities.
