Details:
International composer, producer and world music artist Yuval Ron takes on a highly symbolic endeavor, to unite chants from the three religious traditions of the Middle East into a handful of harmonic musical medleys. His deeply moving weaving of ancient sacred music from the Hebrew, Maronite, Armenian and Sufi traditions results in a decidedly contemplative, meditative and introspective experience. Upon hearing a performance on the Oud by Yuval Ron, Pir Zia Inayat-Khan, head of the Sufi Order International, remarked: "While deep practice of one's religious tradition is like sounding a note, a note of great integrity and beauty, bringing together many sacred traditions through the harmony of music expands the notes into a symphony!"
