Concert &pannel discussion
Sepharad: New Approaches to a Musical Identity

Building upon last year's success, the Sephardic Scholarship Series 
will host two scholars and two bands together for a 
performance-based forum on Sephardic music today. At the forefront of 
this renaissance in Sephardic arts is the Third Annual Sephardic 
Music Festival. In conjunction with this festival, the Sephardic 
Scholarship Series provides an opportunity to explore aspects of 
Sephardic musical culture.

Performances by Smadar and Asefa will be followed by an audience-
interactive panel discussion with the artists and with ethnomusicologists 
versed in the field of Sephardic Jewish music. The primary focus of discussion 
will center on the role of modernity in Sephardic music, including 
how these artists negotiate preservation and innovation.
