THE CONCERT
Please join us to enjoy The Month of Hanukkah -- the unique
repertoire of folk and Judeo-Spanish holiday songs as presented by
Voice of the Turtle. These internationally acclaimed performers
continue to delight audiences with unique and rarely heard repertoire
reflecting the dramatic history and spirit of the Spanish Jews. As
always, the quartet brings its signature musical arrangements using an
expansive palette of instruments; saz, 'ud, baglama, rebec, kamanja,
harp and psaltery, shawms, chalumeaux, bombards, flutes, nays, middle
eastern percussion, as well as modern instruments to evoke more than
500 years of the complex and intriguing paths of exile of the Spanish
Jews through North Africa, the Balkans, and the Near and Middle East.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the only Boston area Hanukkah concert for Voice of the Turtle
