Levoná Ensemble

The Levoná Ensemble combines flamenco, Arab, Jewish, and other musical traditions and weaves them together with stories, both ancient and new. They create a rich tapestry that is at once a taste of the orient and a new creation all on its ownthe kind of energy that only comes when distant cultures overlap and celebrate their differences.

Levoná began as the band for the highly acclaimed Bay Area musical Love Sick, winning the Theatre Bay Area Award for Best Ensemble along with the cast in 2017. Love Sick went on to receive the prestigious Glickman Award for Best New Play in 2018, and audiences and critics alike praised its vibrant music as the heart of the play's energy and wide appeal. Levoná has since continued to perform as an independent group, keeping that same energy alive in both dance and concert halls.
