Hello, Friends--

 

Join us for two intriguing events at The Rogue Theatre that will set the mood for Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale: a concert of Balkan music and a free lecture by Dr. Peter Medine.

 

 

 

 

 

Mzekala in Concert

 

Saturday, April 14

7:30 P.M.

 

For Shakespeare, the land of Bohemia was a strange and mysterious place, a desert kingdom by the sea. Inspired by the mystery of Shakespeare's vision in The Winter's Tale, we will incorporate the exotic music of the Balkans in our upcoming production. Join us for some wonderful Balkan music by Mzekala, followed by an informal question and answer session!

 

Admission: $10 at the door; $5 for students

Cash only

 

Inspired by groups such as Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares and the Pennywhistlers, Mzekala has sung traditional Balkan folk songs in Tucson for twenty years, introducing their audiences to the culture, language and history of the Balkans and Near East.
