Rathom and Mani: The Lesser-Known Composers of Jewish Amsterdam

Lehrhaus, Somerville, MA

Abraham Rathom and M. Mani were two Jewish composers working in Amsterdam in the 18th century. Although their music has been preserved in manuscripts, we know next to nothing about their lives. Come to experience this music, some of which probably has not been performed in over a century, with a historically informed ensemble of local singers and instrumentalists. Enjoy a short presentation as we discuss why this music has been preserved, what we do know about Rathom and Mani's lives, and why it is important that we keep this tradition alive today.
