Come hear Barbelfish in concert this Saturday in the warm acoustics of Nevei Kodesh in Boulder, part of Sheldon Sands' world music series. Music from Armenia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece, Turkey, and some Rom (Gypsy) and Jewish traditions, plus one intriguing composition by Steve Mullins that draws from Balkan traditions and flamenco. What’s special about Barbelfish’s music? Passion-filled repertoire, virtuosity on a variety of traditional instruments, soaring vocal harmonies, driving rhythms. And many strings. At our rehearsal last night, we calculated some 63 strings in the room. Here’s what past audience members have said: * You always amaze us with both your playing and your playfulness! * Beautiful, haunting quality of the music. * What glorious music – and amazing vocals. James Hoskins (gudulka, cello, bouzouki, vocals), Julie Lancaster(accordion, tambura, vocals), Jesse Manno (tapan, doumbek, vocals), Steve Mullins (tambura, guitar, bouzouki, mandolin), Amy Self (clarinet, kaval, guitar, vocals), Loren Uecker (vocals, riqq). It is a rare and particular pleasure for Barbelfish, which usually plays for dancing, to appear in a concert setting. But don't worry – many of the tunes selected for this evening are dance tunes, and there will be room in the back of the hall for those who choose to dance. Questions?
