Jerusalém de España-Cantilena is an internationally renowned trio that brings Sephardic Jewish classical music to concert halls worldwide. The trio delivers an impassioned performance of a stirring mixture of works rooted in an ancient Judeo Español culture as depicted through Romansas, Cantigas and Piutim that go as far back as 2000 years ago. Stories of love, loss and longing take center stage in classical concert form, including both traditional and original contemporary works, one of which memorializes the Jewish community of Salonika who perished in the Holocaust. The program explores Jewish music through history, from the medieval Christian period, under the Visigoths, to the period of Moorish rule by Islamic cultures, in which Jewish scholars wrote their tomes in Arabic, as well as the famous period of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, the “Catholic Monarchs,” and beyond, into the twentieth century.
