Thank you to those who came to our "All About Folk!" concert in Brooklyn (it was a nasty rainy evening)! The program featured folk-inspired pieces from all over the world, written in the 20th century. It was quite a challenging program for performers but was a good one, covering different regions of the world and each piece has its own unique characters.

 I would also like to thank the
Zeavin-Moss family for hosting such a lovely house concert. It was set in their nice living room and the acoustics were just great. They gave us a warm welcome and it was great to meet and greet the audience members after the concert. It's more relaxed than concert hall situation and we enjoyed wine and cheese afterwards, too. 


We are hoping to repeat the program, in a concert setting and an outreach concert setting. If you know of any venues, schools and institutions, please let me know!
