About this event
AŞKINA
ASHKINAH-SAKINAH-SHALOM
PROMOTING CULTURAL UNITY THROUGH PEACE AND LOVE
The Aşkina Concert will feature composers and works from Sephardic-Jewish, Turkish, and Arabic communities. The concert will use music as a bridge to develop cross-cultural understanding and communication between the cultures of the Near East and beyond.
The full concert title, "Aşkina Ashkina – Sakinah – Shalom" ties together words of unity from the cultures represented in the program: “Love” (Turkish) – “Peace/Serenity” (Arabic), and “the spirit of God” (Hebrew) – “Peace/Harmony” (Hebrew) – “Peace” (Arabic/Hebrew).
This cultural harmony will be represented both through the pieces performed as well as the featured performers on that day:
- Dr. Noreen Green (LAJS Conductor)
- Ömer Faruk Tekbilek (Turkish Ney/Oud virtuoso)
- Chloe Pourmorady (Persian-American vocalist)
- Dr. Ayşe Taşpınar Gatenyo (Turkish-American pianist)
- Asher Sasho Levy (Syrian Oud player)
- MB Gordy III (Percussionist)
- Fredy Schiftan (Guitarist)
- Hazan: Hazan Hayim Mazrahi of the Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel (Vocalist)
