Mosaica: Eugene Marlow's Heritage Ensemble Reimagines Popular Hebraic Melodies

Mosaica: Eugene Marlow’s Heritage Ensemble Reimagines Popular Hebraic Melodies

Mosaica reimagines seven popular Hebraic melodies and one original track honoring the memory of Kristallnacht. The tracks were chosen because they represent memorable events in the Jewish experience and the greater diaspora—striking a balance between somber and celebratory events. They lend themselves perfectly to the Heritage Ensemble’s multi-cultural musical approach.
