Eudaimonia: Harmonizing Two Worlds

Schedule

Thu Jun 13 2024 at 07:00 pm

Location

Maine Jewish Museum | Portland, ME

Right to left or left to right? Composers of the Jewish Italian Renaissance had to navigate between cultures, classes, and languages. Salomone Rossi (1570 – 1630)’s seminal work, “Songs of Solomon,” is the first published collection to set polyphonic music to a Hebrew text. Explore how Rossi and other Jewish composers of the Italian Renaissance challenged notions of cultural identity and used music to create understanding between two segregated cultures. Featuring Eudaimonia, a period-instrument ensemble that uses its musical work to uplift social and humanitarian causes.
Tickets: $50 advance, $60 door.
