For those is the New York City metropolitan area, these two concerts may be of interest to you. We look forward to presenting our research.Eighteenth-century London was an especially cosmopolitan city and a relatively tolerant one, which led Jewish musicians from across Europe—from Sephardic, Ashkenazic, Italian, and Eastern descent—to move there. The Jewish community adopted musical customs of the greater London scene while maintaining their own musical traditions. By the second half of the century, Jewish musicians were performing in opera houses, public concerts, and at the English royal court alongside the leading Christian musicians of their day. While some managers and institutions were accommodating, Jewish musicians sometimes experienced clear anti-Jewish sentiment. By exploring the careers of Jewish figures such as the cellists Jacob and James Cervetto and the singer-composer Harriett Abrams, we shed new light on the themes of exile, diaspora, belonging, and music as a site of self-expression among Jews in 18th-century London.Thank you to YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Center for Jewish History and New York City Department of Cultural Affairs
