When Tamar Ilana & Ventanas take the stage, be prepared for a flamenco-style seduction of the senses. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist, dancer, and choreographer Tamar Ilana, Ventanas are a Toronto-based global music ensemble. Drawing inspiration from today’s worldwide themes of migration and identity, Tamar Ilana & Ventanas perform Sephardic and Balkan music and dance plus originals in over 20 languages, such as Ladino, Spanish, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Hebrew, French, Romani, and Arabic. Don’t miss the Chamberfest debut of this award-winning “pan-global diva” and her band, internationally renowned for honeyed mezzo-soprano vocals, Mediterranean melodies, and mesmerizing flamenco dance and choreography.
