duoJalal and Friends present: “ROMANI REACH”
Saturday, November 9 at 4:00 PM
duoJalal:
Kathryn Lockwood, Viola; Yousif Sheronick, Percussion
Min-Young Kim & Rachel Shapiro, Violins
Raman Ramakrishnan, Cello
One of the most significant musical genres in Hungary is the traditional folk music of the Romani people. Non-Hungarian composers like Dvorak, Brahms and Haydn were all inspired and influenced by Romani music. “Romani Reach” will bring together both Hungarian and Romani influenced pieces performed by a diverse mix of strings and percussion. This wonderful program will feature works by Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Bartok, Kodaly, and more.
duoJalal “are fearless seekers and synthesizers of disparate instruments and cultures,” raves the Toronto Star. Like the marriage between Australian violist Kathryn Lockwood and percussionist Yousif Sheronick, of Lebanese descent, duoJalal’s music represents an organic amalgam of cultural traditions and musical styles. duoJalal moves from Classical to Klezmer, Middle Eastern to Jazz, with a skillful confluence that is natural, exploratory, and passionate. duoJalal has performed throughout the United States, Australia and Brazil. Kathryn and Yousif are co-artistic directors and ensemble in residence of the Telluride (CO) MusicFest as well as the Four Seasons in Music concert series at the Sands Point Preserve, Long Island, NY.
Venue is fully accessible, ample parking available.
