You can get a podcast of the interviews by going to www.abc.net.au/triplej/safran/, but if you happen to be reading this right now, tune in and catch all the music as well!

Dr. Maria Krupoves, is a vocal artist, folklorist, and interpreter of the folksongs of Central and Eastern Europe, especially those of her native Vilnius. She’s a practicing Christian, very devoted to her faith, and completely enthused about the connections between Christians and Jews.

Edery says he’s “… hell-bent on bridging the divide between different cultures and faiths in his work, and … finds himself drawn to the repertoire of pre-expulsion Spain, a place where Muslims, Christians and Jews once coexisted — if only briefly — in relative peace and harmony.”
