OSAJS Project 9:  Between Sacred and Profane
–  Jewish Musical Cultures in Early Modern Europe
(October 2019 to March 2020)

This Seminar will focus on Ashkenazic, Italian, Jewish and Western Sephardic musical expressions in Europe during the early modern period (excluding European Jewish communities under Ottoman rule). Special emphasis will be given to the connection of liturgical, semi- liturgical and secular spheres within both composition and performance practice – hence the title “Between Sacred and Profane”.
