Montefiore Day Concert - 15th June

Jews have lived in Italy since the time of the Roman Empire. They have created their own liturgy (the Rito Italiano) and a rich musical tradition which has attracted both Jewish and non-Jewish composers.

For this year’s Montefiore Day Concert we celebrate the music of the Italian Jews. From the Renaissance to the present day, from Rome, Venice, Livorno (Montefiore's birthplace) and Casale Monferrato, we will hear the music of the ghettos, the innovative music of Salamone Rossi, the operatic melodies of the nineteenth-century synagogue and the compositions of musicians who fled the Nazis and yet enriched their musical heritage along the way. We will also feature a love song or two and some operatic favourites.

The music of the Italian Jews will be performed by members of the bOYbershop quartet, Benjamin Wolf, Eliot Alderman, Yoav Oved and Benjamin Seifert, all of whom have been popular with our audiences in the past.
