The Davis Enterprise, Concert Preview >>
Crete-based composer-performers Ross Daly and Kelly Thoma of Labyrinth join exploratory string duo Teslim — Kaila Flexer and Gari Hegedus — in a live concert at 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28, at Village Homes Community Center, 2661 Portage Bay Ave. East. Tickets are $20 in advance, $24 at the door.
Although of Irish descent, Daly defies ethnic classification. From a very early age, he discovered that music was, in his own words, “the language of my dialogue with that which I perceive to be sacred.” This dialogue eventually led him to studies and collaborations with many great masters of the Middle East, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Widely traveled, Daly has been based on the island of Crete for decades.
After several years of studying and performing Daly’s compositions in the United States, Flexer and Hegedus dreamt up a project to collaborate with Daly and Thoma, both of whom are masters of the lyra, a pear-shaped bowed instrument found on Crete. The dream become reality as the quartet performs in Davis.
