Tabla for Two brought a bit of Spring to Mercyhurst University

2019-01-07T20:27:28+00:00February 11th, 2014|Performances|

It was amazing that on a 7 degrees bitter cold winter’s night, people walked into the Mercyhurst University concert hall and got a glimpse of Spring. The stage was lush with greenery and flowers. The air in the concert hall was warmed up by the rich sounds of Tabla for Two.

The crowd was so enthusiastic and showed their appreciation by their audible response after each piece was played. We felt the standing ovation would never end. After our performance, the stage was swarmed by well wishers expressing their thanks before bundling up and returning into the cold Erie night. Thank you to all who attended!

Tabla for Two Returns to Erie

2019-01-07T20:27:28+00:00February 6th, 2014|News|

We appreciate this wonderful article in the Erie Reader. Thank you to Ben Speggen!

The house is warm and gorgeous, open and inviting – filled with art, people, and wine. It’s a who’s who of art and culture, from artists to musicians to collectors to appreciators – all laughing, talking, preparing for the concert that’s about to take place.

Have you seen them before? one man says to another in between sips of wine. They’re mesmerizing.

Absolutely hypnotic, a woman punctuates her description of Tabla for Two before peeking into the room where they musicians have set up. If you’re not witnessing them, you’re missing out.

With our glasses of wine refilled, we make our way into the intimate concert space, and settle in, right in front, sitting on the floor with our legs crossed and ears open, because unlike others here, we haven’t seem them before and we don’t want to miss out.

Our music is multiplying mathematically outward.
This got me thinking about fractals and photography.
Here are the results of  all of these things coming together.

Tabla for Two featured in Erie Times News

2019-01-07T20:27:28+00:00January 25th, 2014|News|

Thank you to Stephanie Hall-Cabelof for this beautiful article about Tabla for Two in the Erie Times. We are honored and humbled.

An excerpt:

Friends and colleagues consider Tabla for Two to be a natural reflection of Greenway’s other-wordliness. Debbie Vahanian, fine art appraiser and owner/president of Glass Growers Gallery in Erie, also attended one of the recitals. “It is clearly documented that music has a profound effect on the brain, with classical Eastern Indian music having the most significant healing capacity,” Vahanian says. “After spending an evening with Tabla for Two, I can clearly state that the experience heightened my awareness of a trusting power beyond me, of another accessible energy that is created from their music. Tabla for Two’s music is captivating and enthralling. As you listen, the regimented demands of everyday life dissipate. The synergy between the two musicians is emblematic.”
