Concert
Hybrid (in-person and online)

Concert at Epiphany Lutheran Church,
790 S. Corona Street (at Ohio), Denver

We kick off the New Year with an inaugural program from the ensemble Vientos y Cuerdas. "Tristalegría!" will feature both Spanish music and traditional tunes of the Sephardic diaspora from the Medieval to the early Baroque eras. Join us for a musical journey exploring diversely rich Spanish dances, soulful songs from the Cantigas de Santa Maria, and Judeo-Spanish tunes that tell stories of resilience, love, and the vibrant cultural memory of the exile of the Jews from the Iberian Peninsula. The vibrant and energetic works of Ortiz, Cabezón, de la Torre, and others will be interspersed with alluring, intimate, and improvisatory Sephardic tunes.

The Performers
     Jennifer Carpenter, recorders, bagpipe, and percussion
     Ann Marie Morgan, gambas and voice
     Keith Barnhart, plucked instruments and percussion
