Mediterranean Encounters

Dr. Samuel Torjman Thomas presents a musical treasury of individual and shared traditions among Jews and Muslims. Blending vocals, oud, violin, nay, and percussion, with songs in Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, and Ladino, his performance traverses North African and Levantine song traditions. Drawing upon a rich intercultural mix of Hebraic and Islamic traditions, audiences feel the heartbeat of the Mediterranean. Before the concert, Dr. Thomas offers a talk to discuss the interrelationship of Jewish and Muslim music, including a primer on understanding the musical languages of the region.
