Under the direction of ethnomusicologist Dr. Samuel R. Torjman Thomas, the New York Andalus Ensemble plumbs the intercultural musical milieu of the great city of Córdoba, Spain with a multiethnic, multi-faith group that performs in Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, and Ladino.
Drawing upon repertoire from the ninth century to the 1960s, from al-Andalus and the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia), the ensemble consists of a choir and a wide array of traditional and modern acoustic instruments.
