Apollo’s Fire: O Jerusalem! Crossroads of Three Faiths
St Martin-in-the-Fields, WC2N 4JJ , [Venue Details]Honouring the peoples whose music and faith brought such vibrancy to the Middle East, this acclaimed programme from Jeannette Sorrell is a musical tour of the four quarters of Old Jerusalem (Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Armenian).
Surprising cross-influences emerge, as a Sephardic ballad leads to a classical Arabic love song, and selections from Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 echo the exotic and rapturous singing of the Jewish cantors in the temples. Twenty-six artists from Jewish, Palestinian, and Christian backgrounds perform on oud, theorbo, medieval harp, zither, strings, and percussion in a joyous celebration of shared humanity.
“Brims with energy and imagination… Programmed with real vision and beautifully performed, a mesmerising portrait of Old Jerusalem reimagined through sound.” (BBC Music Magazine)
