Zevk Ensemble is the combined effort of husband and wife team Benyamin and Rabia van Hattum. They perform an exotic repetoire of Turkish Sufi music, Arabic nasheeds and musical poetry from the Sephardim or Spanish Jews. They will be joined by bassist and MAP Board President, Pete Jacobs, and percussionist James Messerich.
Ariana Saraha is a vocalist, songwriter and producer from the wilds of the West with an Old World soul. Most often compared to Celtic singer Loreena McKennitt and alt-world artists Dead Can Dance, her song casts an otherworldly spell even as it was forged of earth. Saraha's music teeters between the
primordial and celestial, evoking cinematic visions and ancient longing.
Freyja Wild & The Gathering Storm - is a six piece acoustic ensemble that
plays Celtic inspired originals with a touch of middle eastern flavor. Freyja’s songs invoke a world of ancient Celtic magic and wonder with haunting melodies, lush vocal harmonies, Celtic harp, flute and primal drums woven with sounds from Nature’s wild. Her music lifts the spirit, nourishes the soul, and reminds us that the world is beautiful. (Full disclosure, this is my band! And we are awesome!)
