Songs of the Sephardim

Expelled from Iberia in 1492, the Sephardim created haunting music that reflected their longing for return to Iberia while adapting their traditions and music to their new homelands. 

Sephardic music is at once beautiful and poignant, and Texas Early Music Project’s performances of these songs are one of Austin’s not-to-be-missed events. TEMP’s unique and creative arrangements, soulful vocal solos, and ensemble pieces explore this music and culture, accompanied by the exotic textures of a hybrid Medieval/Middle Eastern instrumental ensemble.
 
From the passionate, tragic love songs to songs of fantasy and gaiety, this alluring musical genre will capture your imagination and captivate your heart.
