La Istoria de Purim: Music and Poetry of the Jews in Renaissance Italy
This unprecedented Purim treat is part of the Centro Primo Levi's public programs on Italian Jewish history, and is the ensemble's first stop in an eight-concert tour with a program that has delighted audiences and critics alike in thirty-five concerts from Paris to Budapest.
The repertoire, vast and entertaining, includes music originating in a fertile crossover of cultural forms and ideas, that became the shaping principle of the history and distinguished intellectual output of Italian Jewry. Drawing on a variety of coexisting Italian sources, including Judeo-Italian poetry; Yiddish and Hebrew literary canons; the liturgical oral and written traditions of the communities of Northern and Central Italy; and the instrumental and vocal music of the era, Lucidarium attempts to recreate the soundscape of Jewish life in 16th Century Italy.
