Description

Founded by singer Vanessa Paloma and guitarist Jordan Charnofsky, FLOR DE SERENA is a professional musical ensemble established to explore the wide Judeo-Spanish heritage of poetry and song. The repertoire, gathered from traditional sources as well as extensive field research, is performed in an evocative, expressive style. Vanessa and Jordan keep alive unique texts and melodies which have been passed down through generations of the Sephardic Diaspora.

FLOR DE SERENA brings deep understanding and interpretive skills to Sephardic music, based on years of research in the field and scholarship. This is combined with extensive professional performance experience in classical and world music. The musicians' combined talent and virtuosity creates an elegant, traditional sound with contemporary influences.

While Vanessa and Jordan's performances spring from a depth of knowledge and high artistic quality, their concerts are fun, entertaining, interesting, educational, and designed to move modern audiences. FLOR DE SERENA is an ensemble perfectly suited for major concert venues, but can also tailor its program for more intimate groups including synagogues, community centers and schools.

A featured artist at the World Festival of Sacred Music, and a recipient of the California Council for the Humanities Grant, FLOR DE SERENA captivates audiences of all ages with its dynamic concert performances. The group often appears as a duet with voice and guitar to capture the intimate and subtle qualities of the rich Sephardic musical repertoire. FLOR DE SERENA also appears as a larger musical ensemble including instruments such as percussion, bass, flute, cello, and more.

The flowering of Sephardic Jewish culture which poured profusely out of the Iberian Peninsula through poetry, discourse and song for over seven centuries is a vital cultural heritage of both the Jewish and Spanish people - it is a direct link from the past to the present. FLOR DE SERENA captures the timeless essence of the romantic Judeo-Spanish musical tradition and shares it for all to enjoy - like a fragrant spice translated into artistic expression. Partaking of the rich cultural treasures preserved and offered by these musicians is truly a taste to be savored and cherished.

Based in Los Angeles, California, FLOR DE SERENA is available to travel for concert performances and special engagements.
