Convivencia means coexistence, and in our season opener we explore many of the cross-cultural ties and themes that connected the three great cultures of early Spain: Muslim, Jewish, and Christian. The concert includes two historically accurate 3D videos in an immersive depiction of the medieval Spanish city of Plasencia, directed by Dr. Roger L. Martínez-Dávila, an academic historian at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.
The swirling and sensuous rhythms and exotic scales of Arabo-Andalusian and Sephardic music alternate with courtly, sometimes boisterously exuberant works from the Spanish courts. Glimpses of daily life and cultural interactions are lovingly presented through songs and dances from the 15th and 16th centuries, performed on authentic reproductions of historical instruments.
