1st & Central Summer Concerts presents:
Mamak Khadem and Savina Yannatou & Primavera en Salonico
A leading interpreter of baroque, renaissance, and early music, the Greek-born vocalist Savina Yannatou wields her superlative vocal instrument with a subtle and versatile artistry. Justly called a force of nature, she has undertaken a venturesome exploration of the myriad musical forms of the Mediterranean world. Joining Yannatou in a special program of traditional and original sacred music are longtime collaborators Primavera en Salonico. This ensemble of virtuoso musicians match her consummate cosmopolitanism with a mélange of Western (guitar, violin, viola, double bass, recorder) and Eastern (oud, kanonaki, tamboura, nay) instruments, deploying techniques and styles ranging from traditional to avant-garde and improvisational.
The evening begins with, Mamak Khadem, a classically trained singer who has studied her art in Iran and the United States. In her most recent solo work, she celebrates the poetry and melodies from the Middle East and its historic neighbors. In doing so, Khadem offers music that is richly atmospheric, simultaneously ancient and contemporary, and an enduring testament to the wonders of discovery.
