wonderful blog review of sweetest song concert 4/28/12

For those of you who missed it, or who were turned away (the house was packed on a Saturday afternoon), here’s a wonderful re-cap of The Sweetest Song concert, part of the Brooklyn Art’s Council’s HALF THE SKY Festival: Brooklyn Women in Traditional arts. The concert took place on April 28th, and I was honored to participate.

Thanks to Judith Z. Miller for her kind words!

… Bringing us Balkan Song, Eva Salina Primack, the first performer, set the tone of intensity for the afternoon, singing two Bulgarian songs, immediately plunging the audience into the group-felt realization that we were indeed collectively involved in a deep and meaningful cultural experience…
