"Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom," performed by Guy Mendilow Ensemble

Embark on a musical trek through the Balkans to the Mid-East, to kingdoms long forgotten and bustling towns now vanished. Follow the stories of vagabond queens, pauper poets, and lovers lost to the sea, all set to spellbinding arrangements of old Sephardi songs worthy of symphonic film scores. Wrap these tales up with lush, soulful harmonies evoking flamenco's gutsiness and the longings of fado, all combined with heart-pounding percussion and intricate soundscapes. This performance is presented by WSU Performing Arts as part of the third annual Humanitas Festival.
