Global Rhythms: Zing Go the Strings with Square Dance
Town Hall's celebration of string music from around the world presents our
sixth annual program with a new slate of
outstanding artists from three great cultural traditions. Featured artists
include Li Bo from Mongolia playing the
horsehead fiddle, a unique instrument many consider the forerunner to several
Western stringed instruments, accompanied
with traditional dance by his wife, Bao Xiaoyan; The Tallboys playing old time
American string band music with buck dancing,
along with professional caller Tony Mates who'll teach everyone a bit of
square dancing (bring your dancing shoes!); and House
of Tarab, Seattle's outstanding Arab music ensemble with former Iraqi National
Orchestra violinist Salah Ali.
Advance tickets are $18/$15 Town Hall members, students only at
www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006. $20/$17 at the door.
