“A wonderful evening of music - I really enjoyed this evening of music immensely. The ensemble consisted of two violins, a cembalom (hammered dulcimer), and a lady that alternated between string bass and cello. Two of the members of the group sang as well and another solo singer did lot of the old Czech folk songs. There was also another dance couple that was great. The music was really great.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-16
