On Monday, August 22, 2016 at 9 pm (EST), WETA’s Front Row Washington will broadcast Pro Musica Hebraica’s Fall 2015 concert, Piety and Passion: The Musical Legacy of Jewish Spain.
In the first-ever exploration of this unique legacy, Pro Musica Hebraica presented a concert of Sephardic and Spanish Jewish music. Audience favorites the Amernet String Quartet, Ensemble-in-Residence at Florida International University, returned with friends, mezzo-soprano Rachel Calloway and guitarist Adam Levin, to explore medieval Sephardic ballads and modern masterpieces by composers Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Joaquín Rodrigo, Carlos Cruz de Castro, and Alberto Hemsi.
To listen to the concert on Monday night, Washington-area residents can tune in to WETA 90.9 FM. If you live outside of the DC area, you can tune in live on WETA’s website.
