ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Ionela Guzic is a talented young singer and a rising star in the world of Romanian traditional music. She has performed with many iconic musicians from Romania (Ansamblu Doina Gorjului, Ionica Minune, Cristinel Turturica) and Moldova (Lautarii din Chisinau, Fratii Stefanet). Born in Targu Jiu, Romania, Guzic graduated from the Music Department in Craiova and has received numerous awards at national and international folk music competitions. In 2015, she released Spune-mi mamă ce e doru, an album of songs that represent the beauty of the folklore from the Gorj region where she grew up. The album was received with widespread acclaim, was featured on many radio and television stations in Romania, and helped launch Guzic’s international career, including tours in the United States. Her second album is set to be released in August 2019.

Orchestra Euphonos is a Bay Area-based Eastern European folk and klezmer band, performing traditional music from Moldova and Romania. Their performances are joyous occasions filled with wild takes on old favorites, group improvisations, and more than a few opportunities to dance. Guzic first met with Orchestra Euphonos in early 2018 when she was visiting California to perform for the Romanian community. Together, they will also be performing at the 8th annual Balkan Night Northwest festival in Seattle on March 9, 2019.
