Last Friday Concert Series:

An Evening of Traditional Greek Music, Featuring Agapi Mou 

 

Agapi Mou

Formed two years ago, Agapi Mou is the latest musical project from the young half-Japanese duo of Aya Davidson and Gregory Masaki Jenkins.
The name "Agapi Mou" translates from Greek to mean "my love" and signifies the group's love of and dedication to the traditional music of Greece.
With Aya on violin and vocals and Greg on clarinet and vocals, the group is rounded out with Greek-American percussionist/vocalist Michael Garibaldi
and Alan Davidson on the Greek lute (laouto).

Encompassing the diversity of regional musical styles in Greece would be a daunting task for any group, but with graceful nuance,
Agapi Mou threads together an impressive selection, presenting songs and dance tunes from
numerous islands, including Crete, Rhodes, Amorgos, Ikaria, Mytillini, and mainland areas such as Thrace, Macedonia, Eipirus,
and the Peloponnese. Many of these selections include the traditional improvisational sections known in Greek as "taximi". The group also
performs a number of selections from nearby countries such as Albania, Turkey, and Armenia.

Bay Area Classical Harmonies



Called by some "the most versatile group in the Bay Area," BACH's impressive range of repertoire has included cantatas, symphonies and masses. The Opera division, incorporating stage professionals and up-and-comers, first performed at the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts, presenting a concert version of Mozart's "Le Nozze di Figaro" in December 2000. Since its inception in 1998 by graduate and undergraduate students of the Music Department of UC Berkeley, BACH has cultivated young musical talent through the performance of great classical works for audiences in the Bay Area and beyond. The group attained non-profit status in May 2002, promoting professionalism and providing tax benefits to its donors.
