In a world troubled by religious strife and division, the period between the 8th and 15th centuries in the Iberian Peninsula offers a hopeful historical reminder: Muslims, Christians and Jews once lived together, creating a centuries-long fl...owering of commerce, culture, art and architecture. Cellist Maya Beiser, who grew up in an Israeli kibbutz at the foothills of the Galilee Mountains, living in harmony with neighboring Muslim and Christian Arab villages, asked herself what we might learn from that experience. Her new project, Provenance, is inspired by this panoramic sweep of history and the glory of a multi-religious, multicultural civilization.
Beiser has been active in creating a new global repertoire in music, and for Provenance she has commissioned young composers from Israel, Palestine, Algeria, Morocco, Iran and the U.S. to create music inspired by this Golden Age in Medieval Spain. Also included are arrangements of masterpieces by Hamza el Din, Djivan Gasparyan and 9th century Galician troubadour Martin Codax. Joining her will be Lebanese-American master oud player Bassam Saba and hand drummer virtuoso Jamey Haddad. The pieces will be united by Iranian-American sound designer and computer specialist Shahrokh Yadegari, who will create a cohesive and shared sonic space. Provenance seeks to create an environment in which varied cultural traditions are not simply tolerated, but rather explicitly sought. The work embraces co-existence not as a luxury, but as a necessity.
Join us at 6:30 Behind The Curtain for a FREE lecture about tonight's performance. Tickets are not required for the pre-performance talks and no RSVP is necessary.
