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.
