CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS
Zankel Hall
Maya Beiser, Cello
In creating Provenance, cellist Maya Beiser was inspired by the glory of Spain's Golden Age, when Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived together peacably in a centuries-long flowering of commerce, culture, and art. The performance will feature music by composers working in various Middle Eastern traditions--Kayhan Kalhor, Djivan Gasparyan, Simon Shaheen, Hamza El Din, Tamar Muskal, Douglas Cuomo, and Raz Mesinai--and will incorporate original poetry and traditional melodies. Provenance was co-commissioned by The Carnegie Hall Corporation.
