Odd Rhythms: Music That Moves You 

Tarjama Ensemble Artists present a 90-minute, interactive workshops that explores the passion, cultural context, soaring melodies and rhythms of ethnic and international folk music from the Mediterranean, Near East and Eastern European traditions.  

Tarjama means “translation” in Arabic and Persian. We showcase improvisation in our performances and interactive workshops, reconnecting the past to the future by basking in the present.  Interaction is the key and heartfelt response is the pulse.  

Workshops set up in a circle and  start with a brief concert by the ensemble. 

Next we demonstrate how the music is put together: starting with rhythms with percussion, modes using voices and simple dance movements.   

Contact Meg today to schedule a single concert, a workshop, or a residency.
