About this concert

Mediterranean songs and dances for bass viol and harp: plucked and bowed strings unite in a bouquet of vivid colors and funky rhythms! Margaret et Antoine created this program as well as the exciting new arrangements. Both musicians enhance the performance with comments and anecdotes, for the greatest pleasure of the audience.
