In this special program for Easter and Passover Maria Krupoves and Gerard Edery present a beautiful fusion of music drawn from their respective roots in the Christian and Jewish cultures. By weaving together folk songs, chants, and prayers from across centuries and across Europe they show that the human need for spiritual dimension defies all boundaries of time and place. Join them for a unifying experience as their voices blend in medieval works of praise and devotional songs from the Sephardic Diaspora and Eastern Europe.

Maria Krupoves – Artist and folklorist, is internationally acclaimed as a singer and interpreter of the folksongs of Central and Eastern Europe, especially those of her native Vilnius. She has traveled extensively to find and then sing such songs, many of them now dying out, which are in Yiddish, Polish, Lithuanian, Belorussian, Gypsy (Roma), Karaim and Tatar, to name a few. Marija speaks seven languages and sings in just as many. She has performed in Lithuania, Poland, Germany, France, Israel, Japan , Canada and the United States, sometimes in collaboration with the BBC, the WDR (West Deutscher Rundfunk), Lithuanian and Polish radio and TV. Her CD “Songs without a Country” was released to wide critical acclaim and can be purchased through Sefarad Records. She will be featured in a new release, “Two Faiths, One Voice”, in collaboration with Gerard Edery. This exciting new recording was released in May 2008. “Maria Krupoves understands the fundamental importance of words and musicin our lives.” – New York Reuters/Billboard http://www.mariakrupoves.com/
