[NEohioPAL] Cleveland Music School Settlement Presents Harmonia

[Robert Bruder]

As part of its Traveling Music series, the Cleveland Music School Settlement presents the fiery and passionate Eastern European rhythms of Harmonia on Sunday, January 27 at 3 p.m. in its Glick Recital Hall.

This concert is free and open to the public, however, seating is limited - reservations are required. Call 216-421-5806, ext 121 to reserve your seat(s).

Harmonia's music is intense, driving, lyrical roots music from Eastern Europe, with a repertoire drawing on Gypsy, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Ukrainian, Slovak and Carpatho-Rusyn traditions.

The six-piece ensemble uses instruments as varied as accordion, upright bass, violin, panflute, and cimbalom (the East-European 125 string hammered dulcimer).  Capturing the emotion, depth, fire and passion of Eastern Europe; Harmonia's rhythms move in a heartbeat from mellow and dissonant to loud and frenzied.  The musicians come from varied East-European backgrounds, finding a common musical language in Harmonia.  Their technical brilliance only adds to Harmonia's breathtaking performances - dizzying cimbalom solos coupled with soaring violin lines, haunting flute and accordion solos and soulful vocals - are a joy by any standard.  In addition to being polished performers, Harmonia's members are adept at explaining their music and culture - the ensemble is equally at home on the concert stage and in academic or workshop settings.

The Cleveland Music School Settlement is located at 11125 Magnolia Drive in University Circle.
