O JERUSALEM! | Apollo’s Fire

Join us for a captivating musical tour across the four quarters of Old Jerusalem: Jewish, Christian, Arab, and Armenian/Byzantine. 🌍 Experience the rich tapestry of cultural cross-influences where a Sabbath prayer seamlessly transitions into a Sephardic ballad of love and betrayal. 🎶 Selections from Monteverdi’s magnificent Vespers of 1610 resonate with the soulful melodies of Jewish cantors, while a heartfelt classical Arabic love song leads us into an exhilarating instrumental piece, the Longa Farahfaza.

This Passover and Easter, celebrate the diverse love, music, dance, and prayers that unite all Abrahamic faiths in a vibrant spring renewal! 🌸
