Trio Sefardi combines the “compelling” [Washington Post] voice of Susan Gaeta with expert instrumentalists Tina Chancey (kamenç, rebec, fiddle, viol) and Howard Bass (lute, guitar) to enchant audiences with the songs of the Sephardim. Lori Şen, a Sephardic Turkish mezzo-soprano and Fulbright alumna, will join Trio Sefardi as their featured guest artist; this concert will feature songs from the Sephardic communities of Turkey.
Their repertoire draws on the song traditions of Sephardic communities from the former Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, and North Africa, with a special emphasis on traditional and original songs they learned from their mentor, Bosnian-born singer/composer, and 2002 National Heritage awardee Flory Jagoda. This concert is part of a celebration of the group’s 15th anniversary and the release of Kinze Anyos/15 Years, ananthology of favorites from their four previous CDs.
