Songs of Love and Exile

In their program Songs of Love and Exile, soprano Channa Malkin and prize-winning guitarist Izhar Elias explore a theme that is close to home for both artists. 

Both children of immigrants, they tell a bittersweet story of love, loss and being far away from family and friends. 

The program includes traditional Sephardic melodies and

a selection from The Divan of Moses Ibn-Ezra by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, himself a Jewish refugee.
