Etnachta Goes Worldwide

Last night's etnachta concert was wonderful. EBU (the Euopean Broadcast Union) invited the Israel Broadcast Authority to present a concert to be broadcast worldwide. IBA brought together excellent musicians and a good range of short compositions.

Lauren Shehadeh opened the program with Psalm 130 sung in Arabic. (Did you know that the Arabic translation of the Psalter was one of the sources for the committee that produced the King James Bible translation?) Her voice was wonderful, beautiful, delicately powerful.

The moderator iterated that the program is on the iba website. I keep looking. If I find it, I'll say more about it, but you'll be able to see, and hear, for yourself as the broadcast was in "visual radio" q.v.
