Kantes de las Yjas - Ana Silvera, Lydia Samuels, Tomer Damsky

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the beauty of new music at JMI! 🎶

We are excited to present a unique concert featuring the talented artists Ana Silvera, Lydia Samuels, and Tomer Damsky. This performance marks the culmination of a year-long collaboration, enriched by their residency at Britten Pears Arts and an initial sharing at Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh.

Dive into a musical tapestry woven from medieval Iberian texts and rare sources, exploring the rich cultural ties between Judeo-Spanish (Ladino), Sephardic, Arabic, and Ibero-Christian traditions. This innovative project reimagines historic songs through a contemporary perspective, blending voices and instruments in lush arrangements that resonate with echoes from five centuries past. 🎤🎻

Notably, this performance will welcome special guests, Syrian oud virtuoso Nawras Altaky and soprano Kate Huggett from HOWL vocal ensemble and Shards Voices. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness such an extraordinary cross-cultural collaboration live! 🌏🎵

📍 Location: 119 Pancras Road, London, NW1 1, United Kingdom
