Award winning composer, world music artist, educator and peace activist Yuval Ron returns to Ashland on Saturday, April 17 at 7:30 PM, with his internationally known ensemble for an inspirational celebration of Sacred Hebrew, Sufi and Armenian devotional music, poetry and story telling, to the Havurah synagogue in Ashland. This unusual musical interfaith celebration will include Andalusian, Gypsy, Sephardic Jewish songs, Sufi chants from Turkey, Jewish songs from Morocco and Israel and Armenian Church chants, imparting the ancient and deep intercultural connection between these three Abrahamic traditions and the musical influences they share.Yuval is the musical director and oud player for The Yuval Ron Ensemble, which includes Arabic, Jewish and Christian artists who unite the sacred music traditions of Judaism, Sufism and the Armenian Church into an unusual mystical, spiritual and inspiring musical celebration. Rabbi David Zaslow says, “Yuval Ron's music arises from deep within the soul of the Middle East: the Arab soul, the Jewish soul, the soul of Druze, Sufi, and Christian alike. In his compositions all differences disappear, even for just a moment, to let the real soul of peace, shalom, saalam enter the heart.”Yuval Ron works internationally in film, television, dance and theater. Among his many honors, he was invited to perform for the Dalai Lama, for Pir Zia Iniyat Khan (Head of the Sufi International Order), and has produced albums of Turkish master-musician Omar Faruk Tekbilek. In 2006, Yuval won an Oscar for the musical film, West Bank Story, and in 2004 received the Los Angeles Treasures Award. Yuval has lectured throughout the world in universities such as University of California Los Angeles, John Hopkins University, Middlebury College, Brandeis University, MIT, Berklee College of Music, Pittsburgh University, Texas University in Austin, University of California San Diego, and the Jerusalem Film School in Israel.To learn more about the Yuval Ron Ensemble or to hear samples of their music visit www.yuvalronmusic.com.
