Saturday, April 11, 2015 - SVITANYA

has a repertoire drawn from the entire

region of Eastern Europe. Some songs

are modern arrangements of traditional

folk tunes, some are original

compositions in the folk tradition, and

others are sung as they have been for

generations. They range from strong

and strident field-working songs to

traditional dance tunes to lush and

emotive arrangements, all evoking the

timbres, rhythms, and harmonies

indigenous to the region. Welcome them

back. (photo credit to Casual Candids)

Gwynedd Friends Coffeehouse (A sub-committee of the Fellowship & Outreach Committee) PURPOSE - The purpose of this outreach project is to provide high quality entertainment at a price ($5) that is accessible to people in our greater community. STRUCTURE - Each season we present a number of coffeehouses with varied entertainment. In general, the types of music programs we have are:

Singer/Songwriter or Solo performer American roots music (e.g. old time country music, bluegrass, blues, Cajun) Jazz Music from other countries or cultures (e.g. South American, Celtic, Eastern European) Classical

WHO BENEFITS - Some money we receive goes to pay the performers and the rest goes to the Charity of the Evening and to pay our expenses (posters, mailings, food purchases, piano tuning, etc). At the end of our season, Gwynedd Friends Coffeehouse has no net profits. DO YOU WANT TO BE A COFFEEHOUSE VOLUNTEER?

Our volunteers come from two groups: 1) the members and attenders at Gwynedd Friends Meeting 2) people not associated with Gwynedd Friends Meeting who wish to help out the set up and running of the

Coffeehouse. Contact Carl Baron at 215-699-7835 or though the Coffeehouse web site.
