As the 450th anniversary year of boundary breaking composer Salamone Rossi (ca. 1570-1630) draws to a close, we consider Psalm 137, a text which has resonated with oppressed peoples through the centuries with a special video project produced by Salon/Sanctuary Concerts and NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò featuring the Kaleidoscope Vocal Ensemble that follows Babylon’s waves from Ghetto to Ghetto and Renaissance to Renaissance.
