<p class=MsoNormal>As part of its <i>Traveling Music</i> series, the Cleveland
Music School Settlement presents the fiery and passionate Eastern European rhythms
of <i>Harmonia</i> on Sunday, January 27 at 3 p.m. in its Glick Recital Hall.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <span
style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The six-piece ensemble uses instruments as varied as
accordion, upright bass, violin, panflute, and cimbalom (the East-European 125
string hammered dulcimer). <span style='color:black'> Capturing the
emotion, depth, fire and passion of Eastern Europe; </span>Harmonia’s
rhythms move in a heartbeat from mellow and dissonant to loud and frenzied.<span
style='color:black'> </span>The musicians come from varied East-European
backgrounds, finding a common musical language in Harmonia. <span
style='color:black'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
