Passamezzo

Connections

Early Music and traditional song from three faiths

Connections
A fusion of Jewish, Christian and Moslem sacred music.

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, Taizé chants and popular Hebrew songs.

Ahmed Abdelhak Elkaab
singer
Eleanor Cramer soprano
Netta Chachamu alto
Adrian Horsewood tenor
Christian Goursaud bass
Sam Brown lute, oud
Harry Buckoke bass viol
