[HANASHIR:7728] Re: Holocaust and Sephardic Choral Works.

[Steve Greenberg <sig...>]

Hi Donna,

I've found a great intro to a wide variety of Sephardic works on two
cassettes by Zamir Chorale (Boston) --

o  Sepharad '92  -- a concert commemorating 500 years after the expulsion of
the Jews from Spain in 1492.

o  A Coat of Many Colors -- a concert showcasing the wide variety of sources
and styles of Jewish music

They also have a CD of music from the Holocaust, "Hear Our Voices", but I'm
not familiar with it.

If you want more info, check out Tara's internet site, or Zamir's at
www.zamir.org

Good luck!

Steve Greenberg
