Fresh from extensive travels and musical study in Morocco, Sinai, and Israel, Eliyahu and the Qadim Ensemble will present a program of Devotional Music from the Spiritual Traditions of the Near East at Yale University’s Marquand Chapel (409 Prospect St.) on Thursday, April 8 at 7:30 pm. This musical tour will include pieces from Jewish liturgy from the Diaspora, including Yemen, Iraq, Israel, North Africa and Moorish Spain; music from Christian Armenia and Greece; and devotional poems from the Muslim regions of North Africa: Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. The ensemble’s repertoire includes Arabic, Jewish, Turkish Sufi, Hebrew-Yemenite, Armenian, Greek, and Moroccan music, celebrating the common musical and spiritual heritage of the region's cultures, while Qadim, an ensemble based in the San Francisco Bay area, takes its name from a word found in both Arabic and Hebrew meaning “ancient” as well as “that which will come.” Acclaimed for their passionate performances, Qadim has attracted a growing global audience who are responding to their authentic musicianship and timely message. Their latest CD, Eastern Wind, debuted at #7 on Billboard's World Music Charts after being featured on NPR's "All Things Considered." Excerpts can be heard here.
