New Songs of Sepharad: Tracing Histories, Sounding the Sephardi Past

This project is an artistic research investigation into the world surrounding Sephardi life during the height of the Ottoman period. Through archival inquiry and cultural memory, it draws out imagery and narrative threads that will inform a new album of original music in the Sephardi Ladino language.
