This concert which we presented at the historic Orla Synagogue was a very moving experience. I felt as if I was singing to many more than the 150 people present. Orla had been a thriving Jewish community before the Shoah and the tragedy of its disappearance was palpable. In the Sephardic spirit of optimism and renewal we presented a repertoire that celebrates life, love and faith. From joyous hymns of celebration to poignant ballads of loss, from flamenco-inspired pieces to holy works of praise, we performed this ancient repertoire as a living legacy and commemoration in this sacred space.
