Kozmopolis with Music from Around the World
Admission to the concert is free (really!), with a suggested donation $15 per person. You are most welcome to attend whether you choose to donate or not. Half of the proceeds from this concert will be donated to Recovery Café http://www.recoverycafejc.org/, a recovery community based on the belief that everyone deserves love and belonging and where a beautiful, safe, warm, drug-and-alcohol-free space exists for everyone.
Kozmopolis brings poignant and joyful sounds of Eastern European folk music to the Candlelight Concert stage. Featuring Port Townsend couple Mark “Kozmo” Schlenz on violin and Jane Freeburg on accordion with Dan Harrison on bass, listeners can expect rousing dance beats, lyrical waltzes, and evocative melodies from Ukraine, Romania, medieval Spain, and originals continuing the tradition.
“We play music for the Global Village,” violinist Kozmo explains. “Jane was turned on to world music as a folk dancer in the 1970s, and I was obsessed with the world’s fiddle music when we married in 1982…. We’ve been playing together ever since.” Bassist Dan Harrison, who recently transplanted to the area with twelve years performing and recording with the San Francisco area Klezmer band Hernandez Hideaway, brings creative inspiration and solid grounding to the trio. A multi-talented musician and graphic artist, Dan performed his analog modular synthesis compositions as Manys Lunch Organ at Thing this August.
Kozmopolis performed in 2023 at the Juan de Fuca Festival in Port Angeles, the Brass Screw Consortium Steampunk Festival and the Wooden Boat Festival in Port Townsend, and headlined the Backwoods Accordion Festival in Trego, Montana.
