“Brilliant. Lush. Dazzling..” raved SingOut! Magazine.

The harmonic, rhythmic and tonal richness of Gypsy and village music from east of the Danube are channeled by this “musical gem” (National Public Radio). Featuring top soloists from Ukraine and Slovakia and with roots in Hungary and Croatia, this Cleveland-based ensemble includes violin, accordion, vocals, folk flutes and the 125-string hammered-dulcimer-like cimbalom (played by Alexander Fedoriouk, “a cimbalom supremo—prepare to be hammered” Songlines). Combining original and traditional music, Harmonia can “dig into melancholy sentiments, improvise expressively on traditional rubato forms and…plug into the energy and excitement of music from a rich variety of Eastern European traditions” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). From varied East-European backgrounds, the musicians find a common musical language in Harmonia.

Recent performances have included a week of concerts with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra as well as performances at Dartmouth and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Formed in 2000, Direct Energy set out to re-create the music of such legendary horn rock bands, such as Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears and the Blues Brothers, just to name a few. With their love for this music, the band puts their heart and soul into every performance, living up to their name. This nine piece band takes the audience on a musical journey through the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s. So, whether you’re in the mood to get out and “Dance to the Music”, or just sit back and enjoy a great show, maybe on a “Saturday in the Park” near you. You’ll be sure to go away tapping your feet, or humming one of your favorite songs that you probably haven’t heard in quite awhile.
