#2: May-Jun US/Canada Tour – “Le Mystere Des Voix Bulgares”
***********************************************************************
More for singing lovers: "Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares", a Grammy
award-winning ensemble of a rare artistic gift and enormous popular
appeal tours the US and Canada this spring. Created fifty years ago, its
goal was to enrich the heritage of the Bulgarian solo folk song with
harmonies and arrangement that highlighted its beautiful timbres and
irregular rhythms. These mystic voices have managed countless times to
dissolve the separation between East and West, of young and old, of pop
music and classical tunes. Milwaukee (5/16), Minneapolis (5/17), Chicago
(5/18). Tour Schedule:
