Join
us for a free concert of Rebitika folk songs from Greece and traditional music from Turkey, Arabia and Persia on
Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 7pm at the Library.
Performer Nikos Dimitriadis
will play guitar and oud, a traditional stringed
instrument similar to a lute. Nikos began his study
of the oud more than ten years ago, after playing
guitar for many years. He shares the
magic of this instrument internationally through educational programs and
concerts and has recently begun a tour
of the United States.
Nikos will be accompanied by Scott
Davidson on dumbec and gaval,
both Arabian persussion instruments. The dumbec is an hourglass shaped drum and the gaval is a frame drum.
Davidson notes a local connection - the gaval
he will be playing is made by Bellow
Falls’ own Cooperman
Fife & Drum Co.
Their performance promises to temporarily transport listeners to
another time and place, far from the hills of Vermont.
