From Ghetto to Palazzo: Vocal Works of Salamone Rossi Hebreo
Soloists of the Clarion Music Society present works in Hebrew composed for the synagogue and secular Italian madrigals for the Gonzaga court by the Italian composer Salamone Rossi (c. 1570-1630). Juxtaposing sacred music for clandestine services with madrigals penned in the idiom of the dominant culture, the program reflects the timeless Jewish struggle between tradition and assimilation.

Tickets: General, $25; Students/Seniors/EMA members/Congregants, $15
