Abstract

The purpose of my Culminating Experience project, "Cimbalom Guy: A Cimbalom Journey Inter-Connected," is to explore and showcase the cimbalom's potential to bridge cultures and connect people through music. In a world filled with superficial connections, this project seeks to rekindle genuine human ties across continents, languages, and distances, using the emotive power of the cimbalom. By blending performing arts with digital narratives, I created an immersive concert that goes beyond entertainment, inviting the audience on a journey of discovery and emotional connection. Through storytelling and vivid visuals, each musical piece not only introduces the audience to the cimbalom's rich heritage but also celebrates our shared cultural heritage. This project, performed at the Bohemian National Hall, highlights my growth as an artist and performer, emphasizing the importance of music in fostering a deeper, more meaningful global community.
