About this Event

In today's unsettled world, it feels important to look at what we have in common rather than what divides us. In this concert, Passamezzo join with outstanding singers from Jewish and Moroccan Sufi traditions to create an intercultural conversation.

The programme mixes 17th Century sacred music from all three faiths, (including Salamone Rossi, Claude Goudimel, Thomas Campion and Ali Ufki) with Moroccan Sufi music, Taize chants and popular Hebrew songs.

Harry Buckoke: bass viol

Netta Chachamu: alto

Eleanor Cramer: soprano

Christian Goursaud: bass

Catherine Groom: harp

Robin Jeffrey: lute, theorbo

Tamsin Lewis: alto, violin

Inspired by the Anglo-Moroccan intercultural project From Shore to Shore.

Supported by the MacLaren Trust
