We will entrance you with
English Country Dances from the time of Jane Austen. We
provide dance music for the Little London Assembly Ball each
quarter. We have
also performed for the Luncheon of the National MS Society in Colorado.
2005-2006
Masopust
Polka Band
This band plays
Polkas, Waltzes, and Schottisches
two
Saturdays a month at the Yukon Czech Hall in Oklahoma. Come on out for smiles and dancing on the
beautiful wood dance floor in a building that is a piece of history!
This band has been around for over 100 years and is featured in the
Oklahoma Historical Museum.
2004
Oliva
This ensemble performed a fusion of Sephardic, Gypsy, Klezmer,
and even American Jazz standards. On June 20, 2004,
member Ariel Lazurus was in Gibraltar performing his grandfather's Ladino
specialties with an accompanying orchestra. Congratulations Ariel!
2003
Mariachi Orgullo de
America
Audiences
show great and appreciation for Mexican culture during performances.
2002
Nur
Attending the Arabic music summer workshop at Mount
Holyoke College in Massachusetts was exciting. Especially studying
with world renown Arabic violinist, Simone Shaheen. Back in
Oklahoma,
Nur
consisted of oud, qanun,
violin, and percussion.
2001
Paprika!
This duo performed Gypsy
standards at local venues, including the botanical center's Crystal
Bridge in downtown OKC.
1999-2004 Strolling Gypsy
Violinist
Busking at Medieval and Renaissance Fairs
can be fun - when the weather is good! I've performed in Oklahoma and Iowa, and
State Street in Madison, Wisconsin. For these events, I dress as a 'Gypsy' and stroll,
occasionally joining forces
with bellydancing/drumming groups, and the ensembles
Queen's Gambit (I am featured on their
CD: Opening Move) and Song of Sophia.
