Harif is proud to be partnering with the Jewish Music Institute, JIMENA, Sephardi Voices UK, Jewish Renaissance and Jewish Chronicle in this Iraqi-Jewish Music and Culture Series.

Composer Brian Elias joins ethnomusicologist Dr Sara Manasseh in conversation about their lives and their musical influences. Both were born in Bombay (now Mumbai) to Iraqi Jewish families. The panel discussion, hosted by Dr Bea Lewkowicz, Director of Sephardi Voices UK, and musicologist Dr Malcolm Miller will explore the impact of cultural heritage and identity on musical and creative journeys, illustrated with a selection of traditional and contemporary musical compositions.
