Dunya Ensemble
An exploration of shared scriptural traditions
Musical group DUNYA returns to Boston University! Join us for an evening with DUNYA Ensemble, as we explore a tableau of scriptural music and traditions from the Ottoman Empire, including Islam, Sephardic Judaism and greek Orthodoxy. Introduced by Assistant Professor of Art History Emine Fetvaci, DUNYA Ensemble will present devotional songs in Greek, Hebrew and Turkish; songs of the Alevi and the Bektasi; and a selection of liturgical and ceremonial music from all three religious traditions. This presentation is a rare opportunity to explore the intersections and divergences of three important scriptural and musical worlds with one of Boston’s best-loved musical ensembles. Free and open to the public. A Q&A and reception will follow.
Supported by the Boston University Humanities Foundation.
