A Sephardic Soul at Symphony Space on Saturday


This tip is from Lisa, who loves a good world-music concert.


With the weather getting grayer and chillier, being transported by the lush Mediterranean mix of Sephardic music performed by one of the genres finest singers is a nice way to spend an evening. The acclaimed Israeli artist Yasmin Levy will give a concert this Saturday night, November 7, at Symphony Space in Manhattan.

A champion of Ladino, Yasmin Levy draws from the rich and evocative Judeo-Spanish heritage, performing classics and new works inspired by this tradition. Much of this tradition was discovered by her father, the musicologist Yitzhak Levy. It’s fitting how these tunes remain passed from one family member to another as they were hundreds of years ago.
