Music is an integral part of every culture in the world. Especially exciting are gypsy rhythms and melodies of Hungary and Eastern Europe. Bartok, Enesco, Kodaly, Stravinsky, and Liszt, all used folk music as the focal point for the pieces featured in this concert. Melodies are woven into the fabric of the music and create the toe-tapping excitement of a folk performance. Joining us for the concert will be Laurence Kaptain on an unusual Hungarian folk instrument similar to the dulcimer, called a “cimbalom.” This is a concert you won’t want to miss!
