my observations: Marian is an accomplished flautist. However, her website is terrible and years out-of-date. I couldn't copy links per se, but was able to download a few short samples of Classical, Israeli/Hebrew, and Klezmer recordings and put them in the LJS google drive cloud. They are all labeled -- the Classical samples are self-explanatory (Ravel, Ibert) -- the Israeli/Hebrew pieces have Hebrew names, and the Klezmer pieces have Yiddish names. I heard her harpist duo partner perform at a memorial service recently -- he played a transcription of Debussy's "Claire de Lune." It was an impressive performance. And in the key of D major (not Db major, in which the original piano piece was written!)
I would like to occasionally represent classical and other ethnic genres — and the duo would be relatively inexpensive in terms of our usual min guarantee.
