SACRED SOUNDSCAPES

Musical Traditions from the Ottoman Empire

featuring,

Beth Bahia Cohen, violin, voice; Burcu Güleç, voice; Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol, ney, ud, voice; George Lernis and Bertram Lehmann, percussion

In this musical and historical feast, the Dünya Ensemble is joined by Hadar Feldman Samet, a scholar of Ottoman Jewish culture, to present a historical tableau of musical practices among the Muslims, Christians, Jews, and heterodox groups that coexisted in the tumultuous nineteenth century in the Ottoman Empire. The many layers of communal interaction created deep historical and musical influences between these religious traditions.

Sunday, January 21 2014 – 2pm – Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, 101 S. Independence Mall East, Philadelphia
