Sacred Imaginations is project of Susheela Raman and Sam Mills to bring together musicians from aroud the world whose tradition includes ritual, trance or contemplative music, This first edition "New and Ancient Music from the Christian East" covered traditions from Greece, Russia, Syria, Ethiopia and India. The collaborators included Donos, a vocal ensemble from Moscow (my highlight of the concert). Entry problems into the UK for this gig meant that the Syrian Strings were replaced at the last moment by Syrian musicians resident in Britain.
