This rarely heard repertoire—which at one point co-existed with, and influenced, Western tradition—has left few but tantalizing traces. Margriet Tindemans, with singer/instrumentalist Shira Kammen, soloist Linda Strandberg, and the choir, will present Sephardic romances, works by the 14th-century Matteo le Juif, Hebrew psalms, and compositions by the 13th-century King Alfonso X of Spain, at whose court Jews, Christians, and Muslims worked and lived together.
