Enjoy the timeless voices of the instruments in solo and group concerts, acoustic and amplified, with effects & electronics, accompanied by percussion, vocals and performance artists.
Musically we will lead you on a journey from Africa to Europe to America, from renaissance to classical, world music, contemporary, keltic, electronic rock, jazz and avant-garde.
Reflecting diverse cultures and influences of our community, the programs will be performed by over 15 artists ages 16-88, including young players as well as seasoned and internationally acclaimed professionals.
