I am pleased to announce that a selection of my music from my 2020 album, “Echoes of Ancient Mesopotamia & Canaan” have been featured as the soundscape to an exhibition currently on at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem, entitled “The Feast” .
The exhibition explores banquets, feasts, and food in the Ancient Near East in the 4th-1st millennium BCE, presenting them as the ideal setting for the negotiation of ideologies, and as a symbol of political and social status. The exhibition is on display between May 12th 2023 - December 31th 2023.
In particular, I was delighted to learn that my music will be being played in the very same gallery which displays the iconic Megiddo Ivory - a depiction of a Canaanite-style lyre from Megiddo, which is about as close as we can get to an idea of what the actual lyre of King David might have actually looked like:
