CAFE 704!
At the Interfaith Center & Live on Zoom
Saturday, February 11, 2023, 7-9 pm
Deep, emotional, creative and boundary defying,
come gather round to dance and cry
to the folk melodies and oddly danceable rhythms
of South Eastern Europe
We play folk melodies as old as time and original hits written for today. We promise to touch each heart and ear.

She has performed, recorded, and collaborated with a multitude of local and regional creative artists. As an educator, her unique musical frame of reference illuminates her approach, and she is recognized at the local, state and national levels for her teaching.
