A unique window into a language and culture that was transplanted from 14th century Spain, and is retained by a small emigre community in Turkey.  Karen Sarhon is a native speaker of Ladino, and has collected a world-renowned archive of Ladino song and language that gives us an extraordinary insight into the way a  culture travels both regionally and through centuries. All our welcome.  Save the date!  Venue details at Harcourt Hill to be confirmed.
