Mediterranean Music at Trinity

FYI:

I wanted to spread the word about what looks like an amazing concert this coming Monday, organized by Hillel, in case you're not aware of it already. The Rose Ensemble—"12 artists, 25 languages, 1000 years of music"—will be on a national tour and will perform a program entitled "Voices of Ancient Mediterranean Jews, Christians, and Muslims" at Trinity. The program consists of Arab-Andalusian dances, Sephardic laments, Spanish villancicos, Hebrew chants and Galician spiritual cantigas, and features vocal and instrumental pieces heard in the chapels, synagogues, and courts of early Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

In case you are interested, their website is:

The concert will take place on Monday January 30, 2012, at 7:30 in Hamlin Hall. It is open to the public so you should bring anyone with an interest in music or in the middle ages and the Mediterranean.
