StringQuake - Beyond the Silk Road
Performing fresh, original arrangements as dynamically diverse as Bach to blues, with rhythms and sounds from India, Africa, Bali, to Spain, Mexico and Venezuela, this trio creates an intimate and energizing musical experience that defies tradition. Informed by first-hand, in-depth experience of the music, people and cultures that inspire them, they bring alive the spirit that captivated them.With a penchant for improvisation and unexpected meters, their music isrich, nuanced and passionate,boasting a wide-ranging repertoire runs the gamut from contemplative to vigorous, onelectric harp, cello, and various percussion.

Amelia Romano takes the path less traveled. A composer and arranger, she draws on life experience and inspiration to inform her work, using the harp as her vehicle of artistic expression. Her time living and working in South Africa, (2010-2011), are now written into the fabric of her music which takes you from the heart of a black South African township, to the American South, with stops in Mexico, Spain, and Venezuela.Performing on a blue electric leverharp, she experimentswith rhythms, tones and textures thatdemandthe listener re-think the lever harp's role in today's music.
