Music for Movement
Global Acoustic Music for Movement
I am a seasoned musicologist, performer, and band leader in global folk music styles for 30 years.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Clarinet performance and I study music extensively in Turkey and India.
I am known for my world music playing and productions including Tarab Retreat, performing in Denver Center Performing Arts’s Klezmer play by Paula Vogel, Indecent, founding the Farabi Iranian Ensemble, and heading up the Eastern European style party band, Klezmerize.
I am an Athena Project Artist in Residence, and I join Hal Aqua at Dazzle Jazz and the Mizel Museum/Mercury Cafe Denver KlezFests. I love sitting in with Gora Gora Orkestar and Hadgaba Balkan Band!
Community Outreach include Denver Sister Cities and Denver Spring Institute events, Musical Ambassadors of Peace Benefit Concerts, playing for Colorado Senate sessions, Yo Yo Ma’s 2018 Colorado Tour, Roshni Denver and the Boulder Balkan Bash.
Music and dance build bridges from the past to the future by basking in the present.
Band Leader
Veelah Balkan Band started out from Meg York and Jesse Manno's passion for Balkan brass band style of funk. It's now Klezmerize with Romanian accordionist Florin Alexanderescue, Ben Cohen and Pascal Diez.
