Sarah Larsson and Sarina Partridge are Nanilo ("NAH-nee-low”) — a vocal duo singing harmony-forward arrangements of Yiddish & Ladino women’s folksongs. Drawing from deep roots of vocal folk music from Eastern Europe and North America, Nanilo infuses their interpretations of traditional music with a harmony sensibility rooted in and liberated from classical choral singing. As alumni of Village Harmony, the Yale Slavic Chorus, and the Nightingale Trio, Larsson and Partridge now dig into their own musical roots in European Jewish diaspora, exploring the ways that folksongs serve as vessels for real stories of women’s lived experience over generations.

In their collaboration, Eva Salina & Peter Stan pick up the threads of an interrupted legacy of empowered female voices in Balkan Romani (“gypsy”) music. Seeking to amplify voices of past generations of Romani women musicians, Eva & Peter employ tenderness, grace, and friendship in keeping these songs alive and evolving, while tending to living traditions and sharing with new generations. Eva & Peter have one album together, SUDBINA: A Portrait of Vida Pavlović. www.evasalina.com for more info and to learn about Eva’s teaching work.
