The course offers the experience, excitement and fulfillment of music through a community ensemble while exploring the rich, mysterious and sometimes romantic melodies from the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and the Roma (Gypsy) people. The Twin Cities World Ensemble offers a look at our friends on the other side of the world with help from the most time honored folk instrument, the accordion. TCWE is open to all ages and levels. Ensemble members should have an accordion in good working condition, a folding music stand, and a desire to discover world adventures through music. Instructor is Dee Langley (picture right), an award winning musician and composer specializing in both solo and ensemble works for the accordion.
