Fanfare Ciocărlia

Having learned their craft from their fathers and grandfathers, the members of Fanfare Ciocărlia approach every concert as a challenge to “both entertain audiences and keep the true spirit of Gypsy music alive.” Playing brass orchestra from the “hidden” village of Zece Prăjini in northeastern Romania, the band set out to Europe in 1997. Since then, it has become an international sensation and has appeared in several films (Ralf Marschalleck’s Iag Bari follows the band on tour across Europe while Fatih Akin’s Head On finds them playing Hamburg clubs). The group debuted in Cleveland in 2013 to tremendous acclaim on the museum’s Ohio City Stages summer series. It returns tonight at 7:30 for its first-ever appearance in Gartner Auditorium. Tickets are $53 to $69, $48 to $62 for CMA members. (Niesel)
