Singing Sefarad

Gastvortrag und Workshop mit Judith Cohen (Toronto)

Dr Judith Cohen, Canadian ethnomusicologist and singer, combines scholarship with her years of travel and fieldwork and her roots in the 1960s folk revival. Known internationally for her work with Sephardic songs, she will give an introduction to their history and traditional genres around the Mediterranean, with short samples of documentary recordings and her own live singing. This will be followed by an interactive workshop. Judith Cohen unpacks popular myths about Sephardic songs, while drawing audience and participants in with her warm, informal style. All are welcome to join and/or observe the workshop; no prior knowledge or singing experience is needed!
