Kopare<\/h2>\n

Music of Crete, Asia Minor, and the Black Sea (Greece)<\/p>\n

The Kopare approach to these among other timeless arts is a total greater than the sum of its parts. Adherence to ancient micro-tonal guidance carefully balanced with the obligation to include the personal tone of each individual instrument and voice takes wisdom from the past and gives it special relevance to the paths we are weaving through today.<\/p>\n
