| Boston Camerata "A Mediterranean Christmas" SDEMS is proud to present a holiday performance by one of America's oldest and most prestigious early music ensembles, the Boston Camerata, assisted by the Sharq Arab-American Ensemble. Their program, "A Mediterranean Christmas," will include the Christmas narrative in Spanish, retold using songs, chants, and instrumental pieces from the countries of the Mediterranean basin: Spain, Italy, and Southern France in Europe, and also North Africa and the Holy Land. Works will be drawn from Medieval manuscripts and more recent, though still archaic, folklore and oral traditions. Some unusual Middle Eastern instruments (even for SDEMS concerts!) such as the riqq, tar, and darabuka will be played. Director Anne Azema will lead singers and instrumentalists in a rich Medieval multi-cultural feast that the Boston Globe called "ear-cleansing, jubilant, and inspiring."
