Connections - Early music and traditional song from three faiths

Monday 18 May | Sommervile College Chapel

A fusion of Jewish, Christian and Moslem sacred music

In today's unsettled world, it feels important to look at what we have in common rather than what divides us, so we have brought together a superb team of singers and musicians from all three faiths to create an intercultural conversation.

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