LILY HENLEY – A NIGHT OF LADINO

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Lily Henley, as she celebrates the rich cultural legacy of Ladino, a critically endangered language and musical tradition rooted in the Sephardic diaspora that fuses old Spanish with Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, and Persian elements spoken by less than 100,000 people in the world today. 

With her latest album, Oras Dezaoradas, named Best Album of the Year by Hey Alma Magazine, Henley revitalizes these melodies, weaving together the hopes, dreams, and stories of Sephardic women across generations. Her performances build bridges between past and present, connecting audiences to the vibrant cultural legacy of the Sephardi people. 

Renowned for her bell-like vocals and expressive songwriting, Lily Henley masterfully blends her Sephardic heritage with her American and Celtic musical roots. Her work highlights the interconnectedness of languages, cultures, and traditions, inviting audiences to explore their own heritage through her deeply personal and evocative performances. 

Henley’s musical journey includes performances at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall and the New York Sephardic Music Festival. A Fulbright award recipient, she has toured internationally as the frontwoman of the mystic-folk band Rising Appalachia and collaborated with an array of celebrated folk artists. 

All seating is first come, first served.
