Voice of the Turtle Returns!
Come to our concert on May 19th, 2012! Details here.
After a several year hiatus, Voice of the Turtle original members Lisle Kulbach and Jay Rosenberg have reformed the group with the addition of Sephardic singer/instrumentalist Ian Pomerantz.
With renewed enthusiasm and spirit, the new trio will continue to perform their signature arrangements of traditional Sephardic songs as well as original compositions by Mr. Pomerantz.
We are delighted to be back!
Founded in 1978, Voice of the Turtle - Derek Burrows, Lisle Kulbach, Jay Rosenberg and Artistic Director Judith Wachs, brought alive the compelling musical repertoire of the Spanish Jews -- the Sephardim. Sung in Ladino and Hebrew, accompanied by more than 25 instruments, these performances thrilled audiences for more than 30 years.
"...the four musicians tooted, blew, plucked... and the capacity audience clapped, whistled and sang tra-la-la...the normally austere atmosphere of the Purcell Room of the Royal Festival Hall echoed to the applause..." London Jewish Chronicle
