Yeshena Beheq Yaldut: 
Maurin Nehedar in a Personal Musical Journey

Singer, paytanit, and international creator Maurin Nehedar in a special concert to launch her new album of piyutim, Yeshena beheq yaldut (Sleeping in the bosom of childhood). Maurin will present new arrangements of piyutim from the Iranian-Jewish musical tradition, which she is unveiling to the public after over a decade of unique studies. Inspired by her studies and brought on by wanting to contribute a personal interpretation to this tradition that has no following, Maurin wrote original arrangements to piyutim from Spain's Golden Age and the prayer book, using the Persian Radif scale. Further arrangements to poems by Israeli poets-from Yehuda Amichai to Uri Zvi Greenberg-depict another aspect of her musical creations and connect between the past and the present.
