MAAYAN

MAAYAN - Colours of Jewish Music

It is an exceptional program which shows different aspects of multicentury Jewish musical tradition: from old Hebrew songs, dealing mainly with religious topics, through Sephardic music of secular character to traditional Yiddish repertoire.

The idea of the program is to present different colours of Jewish music in one concert as well as to show the continuity of ancient and contemporary world. The instruments and arrangements of the consort refer to ancient, traditional as well as to modern music.

MAAYAN is a story about Jewish life irrespective of the place of birth. There are songs accompanying people in different situations of everyday life and holidays, prayers, lullabies, love songs. All of them express a Jewish soul…
