DESCRIPTION:
LiveConnections presents the world premiere of David Ludwig's "Kantigas," a suite for violin, guitar and percussion based on songs from the Ladino (Judaeo-Spanish) tradition.

The work was commissioned by LiveConnections as part of its "Crossing Strings" project, a groundbreaking collaboration bridging Arabic and Western music traditions. The performance features Jason Vieaux on classical guitar, Hanna Khoury on Arabic violin and Hafez El Ali Kotain on percussion.
