SERIES CONCERT: Surviving Inquisition with Forgotten Clefs
2026-02-28 19:30 - 21:00 | Duke University Chapel, 401 Chapel Drive, Durham, NC, 27708, United States
Performed by Forgotten Clefs, “Surviving Inquisition” traces the musical journey of Sephardic Jews from the thirteenth century in Alfonso el Sabio’s Castile, through the early years of the Inquisition in late fifteenth-century Catholic Spain, to Italy in the early seventeenth century, where many Jews lived following expulsion. Using European and Arabic instruments-including dulcians, harp, hurdy-gurdy, recorders, and shawms, Surviving Inquisition intertwines traditional Sephardic tunes with Catholic music from Medieval manuscripts, featuring works by Juan del Encina (1468-1530), Juan de Anchieta (1462-1523), Christobal de Morales (1500-1553), and Salamone Rossi (1570-1630) in music of the Jewish composer Salamone Rossi (1570-1630), living in diaspora in early 17th-century Mantua, Italy.
