About this Event

Dharma Down & Carol Coronis

Sun 11/16

5pm doors/6pm show

All Ages | $15 adv./$18 day of


Drawing on their eclectic backgrounds and passions , Dharma Down delivers a musical adventure spanning centuries and the globe, while always pushing their genre-bending music into the future. Presenting music across the jazz compendium, Dharma Down also draws on influences from East European and Middle Eastern music and turns this identity crisis into its biggest asset. The group’s 2024 debut album, Owl Dreams, prominently features original compositions inspired by American and Arabic traditions.

The ensemble is made up of some of New England’s top players united by their love of modern jazz and middle eastern music: Mike Effenberger (piano), Duncan Hardy (alto sax & qanun), Scott Kiefner (upright bass), and John Mettam (percussion) create a sound that is as intimate as it is powerful. Their compelling rapport creates an exciting new ensemble to follow closely for years to come.


Carol Coronis has been firing up audiences in the greater Seacoast area for over two decades and is known for her energetic performances in the regional area. Armed with her cittern, a 10-string “mandolin-on-steroids,” Carol will be featuring music ranging from the ethereal to traditional bellydance and urban songs via aural trips to Greece, Turkey, and the Middle East. There will be a couple of stories to share but expect mostly music and lots of good energy to warm hearts and souls.Carol is a member of the NH State Council On the Arts Folklife Roster and hosts two radio shows on WUNH radio, Aegean Connection on Saturdays and The Ceili Show on Sundays.
