An evening of European folk music is planned for a backyard concert that begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 8, at the Srivastava family’s home at 6515 Lake Drive in Grand Forks.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. Guests are asked to bring their own lawn chairs.
The audience can expect to hear “polkas, oom-pah-pah music, stamping dances, tarantellas and everything in between, from all European countries,” said Tamara Bertram, music teacher and executive director of the Greater Grand Forks Symphony Orchestra.
Musicians who will be performing the program are Vedant Srivastava, guitar, and Surya Srivastava, viola. Vedant and Surya, who attend Schroeder Middle School and Lake Agassiz Elementary School, respectively, are Bertram’s students. They are the sons of Manu Srivastava and Radha Panini, who are hosting the concert.
This is the second backyard concert of the summer. It is intended to allow people to gather in a safe outdoor space, reconnect with others, and enjoy music.
