In a world troubled by religious strife and division, the period between
the eighth and fifteenth centuries in the Iberian Peninsula offers a hopeful
historical reminder: Muslims, Christians and Jews once lived together in
Spain, creating a centuries-long flowering of commerce, culture, art and
architecture. Cellist Maya Beiser's new project Provenance features live
music and original text in Ladino, Arabic, Hebrew and Latin, woven
together into an all-encompassing musical tapestry.
