Tour to Morocco
with the
The Yuval Ron Ensemble

Yuval and the entire Ensemble invite you to travel with them to meet the tribal
musicians and dancers of Morocco and to share this extraordinary musical experience.
Together we will explore the wonders of this ancient civilization and its many
mystical music and dance traditions.


 

 


Dear All
  The Yuval Ron Ensemble is going to take to the rich and fascinating land of Morocco. If you would like to, you may join us to experience the mystical music and dance of the "Blue Men" of the nomadic Tuareg tribes, the trance music of the Berber and Sufi orders of Morocco and the Andalusi music of the sephardi-Jewish musicians still living in Morocco.

As we were invited by the King of Morocco to perform at the 2009 world famous "Sacred Music Festival of Fez", we will be touring Morocco from May 23 to June 3, 2009. We will witness and participate in music and dance ceremonies, visit the sacred Sufi shrines and enjoy VIP exclusive musical parties at private estates.
