In the Jewish tradition, Havdalah is the ceremony that marks the end of the Sabbath and the beginning of the Week-To-Come. It starts when three stars are visible to the naked eye. For this concert, we’re starting with desserts at 7:30pm, music sharp at 8:30pm mixing some Hebrew texts with Telemann and Vivaldi, and timing it to end with Havdalah just at the right time.

Telemann is represented by a trio from Essercizzi Musici featuring recorder and gamba, and Vivaldi by an arrangement of Spring from The Four Seasons tailored to the group as a (mostly) harpsichord concerto.

The Hebrew texts are from Salamone Rossi’s Songs of Solomon with part of Ernest Bloch’s Sacred Service. We hope this mix of styles will be inspiring, and that our musical version of Havdalah will gently and peacefully invite a new week of activity.

Featuring:

Jonathan Salzedo (harpsichord/organ)

Marion Rubinstein (recorder)

Michelle Pavlova (Mezzo-soprano)

Laura Jeannin (violin)

Amy Brodo (cello/viola da gamba)
