In its final concert of the 2012 – 2013 season, CRSP will create a space where musicians, dancers, speakers from diverse faith groups, and audience members will gather together to explore the idea of religious pluralism. The concept of religious pluralism is as relevant today as it was on the Iberian peninsula in 15th-century Spain, when communities of Christians, Jews and Muslims co-existed relatively peacefully with an attitude of “live and let live.”
