“Surviving Inquisition” traces the musical journey of Sephardic Jews from the thirteenth century in Alfonso el Sabio’s Castile, through the early years of the Inquisition in late fifteenth-century Catholic Spain, to Italy where many Jews lived following expulsion during the early seventeenth century. Using European and Arabic instruments—including dulcians, harp, hurdy-gurdy, recorders, and shawms—Surviving Inquisition intertwines traditional Sephardic tunes with Catholic music. The program is sourced from Medieval manuscripts featuring works by Juan del Encina (1468-1530), Juan de Anchieta (1462-1523), Christobal de Morales (1500-1553), and Salamone Rossi (1570-1630).
