Jews have long been wanderers, dispersed throughout the world, often in search of new opportunities but just as often, driven from place to place by persecution. The story of Spain’s Jews and their diaspora will be told in music by Apollo’s Fire, Cleveland’s baroque orchestra, in its next program, “Sephardic Journey: Wanderings of the Spanish Jews.”
Conductor Jeannette Sorrell will lead the ensemble in the revival of this program, which spotlights soprano (and co-conductor) Nell Snaidas, tenor Karim Sulayman and baritone Jeffrey Strauss. The concert “interweaves Sephardic folk song with the Monteverdi-like Hebrew choral work of Salamone Rossi — the Songs of Solomon.” The program has proves so popular in the past that it will be releasing a CD of it later this month. (You can pre-order it at their website).
The group will perform the program on Thursday at Akron’s Fairlawn Church, on Friday at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Cleveland Heights, on Saturday at the Maltz Performing Arts Center in University Circle — the first public concert in the new facility, and on Sunday at Baldwin Wallace University’s Gamble Auditorium. Tickets are $21-$68.
