Fred and List: I wanted to pass along this note about a new program on the 
role of the arts in the economic life and vibrancy of our region. Perhaps 
the business community will stand up and notice.

>From a review of Kalman Balogh’s 2003 recording. “Aroma”:

Kalman Balogh plays the cimbalom - a 125 string hammered dulcimer – with a breathtaking level of virtuosity.  The music of his group, The Gipsy Cimbalom Band, is a “great meeting” of different musical genres. Grounded in traditional Hungarian Gypsy music, the ensemble searches for those association points, through which it is possible to interpret what might seem from many other points of view diverse music. Due to the high level of their technical ability with their instruments their imaginative ideas are effortlessly realized.  Their music, like Gypsies, crosses boundaries; traditional tunes merge seamlessly in the hands of these accomplished musicians as they swerve from style to style, constantly improvising around the main theme.  This band is guaranteed to put a spring in the step, bring a smile to the face and refresh the appetite of even the most jaded musical palette.
