SEPHARDIC SINGING

With Françoise ATLAN

The multi-cultural Françoise Atlas has an incredible voice. Her Sephardic melodies carry diverse influences, from Jewish liturgy to Arabic poetry. Over the years she has collaborated with diverse ensembles, performed worldwide and been the artistic director at the festival Andalousies Atlantiques. This workshop delves into the Judeo-Spanish romances of old empire – from the Ottoman to Maghreb – and focuses on learning songs by ear and vocal ornamentation.
