ISAW Exhibitions Musical Performance: Christine & Dinu Ghezzo and Friends

Location: 2nd Floor Lecture Room
Date: Friday, January 22 2010
Time: 7:00 p.m.

This special concert will highlight folk and traditional songs from different parts of Romania. Some of the musical traditions included are Colinde (Winter Songs/Carols) , Bocete (Death Laments), Doina (Lyrical Songs) and Wedding Songs. Each song will be presented with sensitivity to traditional methods of interpretation, while bringing in new elements such as sound samples of folk instruments and improvisation by the musicians. The music will express a full spectrum of universal human emotion and experience, while sharing the rich repertoire of Romanian traditional music. Each song will be introduced with a brief description and translation of the words, and time will be set aside for audience questions.

This event is associated with the Lost World of Old Europe exhibition, currently showing at ISAW.
