Our feature program is a celebration of music for the soul with the internationally acclaimed music group Al-Firdaus Ensemble. Their repertoire includes adaptations of poems written in Aljamiado, the Spanish language of the 16th-century Moors, written in Arabic. You won’t want to miss their moving performance.
