concert, the evening continues with dancing to traditional Romanian
dances as well as waltzes and tangos.  In keeping with the harvest
theme, a full menu of traditional Romanian food will be available
including: mititei, pastrama, mamaliga, carnati and  jumari as well as
homemade Romanian pastries.  The bar will feature Romanian wines and the
tradition grape harvest drink, "must de struguri" - freshly pressed
grape juice.  As an added attraction, St. Mary's highly regarded
Romanian cultural museum will be open during the event.

A recent reviewer had this to say about Harmonia:

 " Harmonia performs traditional music from ... the Heart of
Europe, an area ranging from the Danube river to the Carpathian
mountains.
 Harmonia combines exquisite singing, fiery violin, rich accordion, and
pulsing bowed string
bass with instruments less familiar to Western audiences. Of these, the
biggest
contributor to the group's distinctive sound is the cimbalom. A relative
of the
hammered dulcimer and Greek santouri, the cimbalom is common throughout
Eastern Europe, especially
in Hungary, Romania, and Ukraine.

It is hard to describe Harmonia’s music without sounding overblown, but
the
adjectives called to mind are no exaggeration. Brilliant. Lush.
Dazzling. Soulful.
All true, but still insufficient to evoke the passion and exhilaration,
the
melancholy and triumph, that a Harmonia performance evokes. Each
individual
musician is stunningly virtuosic; together, they weave such a complex
layer of
richly textured sound that the only thing one can liken it to is the
finest of
traditional oriental rugs."  SINGOUT! Magazine, Spring 2001
