Friday 23 April 2004-Troia Nova atSt John's Church - A concert on St George's day

St George was born in Cappadocia, one of the most exotic and beautiful parts of present-day

Turkey. This year you are invited to celebrate the saint's oriental roots by attending a concert featuring traditional music of

Greece,

Turkey and the Middle Eastat the historicchurch of St John'sin Bethnal Green. To markSt George'sEnglish connections Troia Nova will perform the concert premier of their interpretation of Sir Edward Elgar's "In Smyrna", an exquisite but little-known piece composed in 1905 following the composer's visit to theport of Izmir in

Turkey.
This is a double bill featuring Troia Nova supported by Sharki performing Arabic classical and folk music.
Tickets (on the door) are £8 with £4 concessions. The concert begins at7.30pm.
(St John'schurch is located opposite Bethnal Green's tube station -on the central line-)

Troia Nova's next appearance is on the 21st of December at7.30pm, at St Mark's Church,Myddelton Square, London EC1R 1XX: "Songs For St Nicholas", a concert of Greek, Turkish and Jewish music. This concert celebrates the interaction of three nations and three religions. From its earliest days Christianity has had a close relation with Jewish music, and this relation was extended in both the East (Byzantium) and the West as history progressed. The emergence of Islam, and in particular the Ottoman world, added richness and complexity to an already beguiling mosaic. The relation continues to flourish. At Songs for St Nicholas Troia Nova will perform secular and religious music, including classical and folk music from

Turkey, folk song and dance from

Greeceas well as songs of the Sephardim. In addition, the concert will see the

UKpremiere of a little-known setting of a poem by Israel Ben-Mose Nadjara (1555-1655) to a composition by Turkish composer Neyzen Yusuf Pasa. As always, Troia Nova will aim to highlight the close and often surprising connections between these interlinked cultures.

Troia Nova's next appearance is on 10 October at St Mark's Church, Myddelton Square, London EC1R 1XX: The Turning of the Wheel: : A lecture/recital on the Muslims of Crete and the music of the Island The title refers to one of Crete's best-loved poems, and this lecture/recital looks at the Cretan Muslims and the lost musical world they shared with the Christians of the island before the tragic events that forced the last of their numbers into exile.Chris Williamswill give a short talk which will be followed by a concert by Troia Nova of music fromCrete, mainland
