BARMALJOVA is the duet project of vocalist INNA BARMASH and violist/composer/arranger LEV 'LJOVA' ZHURBIN. Tonight, they will perform a set of folk songs from America, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Italy, France, and other lands. Some of these were arranged by Romantic-era composer Luciano Berio; others they found on their own.

LUCIA PULIDO is a Colombian singer with one of the richest voices on the international Latin American musical scene today. She has mined the musical traditions of her native Colombia and other Latin American countries in an ongoing search for a distinct, experimental style, and has participated in projects ranging from traditional Colombian music to jazz and "Nueva Canción" (New Song). Tonight, she performs with the eclectic bassist STOMU TAKEISHI.

SXIP SHIREY & SARAH ALDEN. will present 3 duets, a Moldavian number, a new piece for guitar and alternative tuned violin and an interpretation of a greek chorus from Euripides' Woman of Troy featuring voice, violin, melodica, reverse disc music box (the Mr. Christmas model), shruti box and color coded bells.

SPECIAL GUEST -- you'll have to come and find out!
