Yuval Ron Ensemble: Expedition in Spain (June 2010)
AN INVITATION FROM THE YUVAL RON ENSEMBLE:
Dear friends,
I am writing to invite you to come with me on an extraordinary musical journey to the historical land of Andalusia, where Jews, Muslims, Christians and Gypsies created the fiery Andalusi and Flamenco music and dance styles. THIS JUNE, we will spend time with the Gypsy musicians and dancers of Andalusia in caves, restaurants, intimate private homes parties, jam sessions, workshops and concerts, and present the first concert of the Yuval Ron Ensemble with guests Flamenco musicians and dancers in Spain. Just imagine witnessing our great Arabic singer Najwa Gibran and Armenian woodwind master Norik Manoukian going to the higher spheres with the Gypsy Flamenco musicians of Andalusia! I can’t wait for these blissful moments. We will also, explore the history that led to the creation of Flamenco and the interfaith Middle Eastern foundations of Spanish music, dance, architecture and culture.
