ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ to host Czech Roma music group
Valdosta State University will host a night of traditional Gypsy
songs and dance, on April 8, at 7 p.m., in the University Center
Magnolia Room.
The Roma group, from the Czech Republic, began performing in 1991
and was developed from a children's group. The members, three women
and six men, sing and dance to traditional Gypsy music from Eastern
Slovakia. The group strives to maintain the authenticity and
simplicity of each arrangement.
?This is an opportunity to hear a musical group that represents a
culture that is very little known in our area,? said Dr. Tracy
Harrington, director of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Center for International Programs,
?We really encourage the community to come out and hear this
group.?
The group is performing throughout ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ, and ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ is one of eight
University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ institutions hosting the musical
group. ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ College and State University's International
Education is sponsoring the performance, with the assistance of a
grant from the University System of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Global
Partnership.
For more information, contact Dr. Tracy Harrington or David
Starling, ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓÆµ's Center for International Programs, at
