CRYSTAL FALLS — The Dave Sharp Worlds Quartet will bring a world of music to the Crystal Theatre in Crystal Falls at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Bassist, composer and bandleader Dave Sharp leads the Worlds Quartet in exploring music traditions from Turkey, Egypt, Ukraine, India, Bulgaria and Greece.

The Ann Arbor Observer describes the music as “a kaleidoscope of undulating gypsy, Jewish, Persian and North African music, interspersed with jazz variations.”

Building on an electric bass foundation, the unique sound is produced by violin, oud — a lute-like stringed instrument played in Arab countries — synthesizer and world percussion.

Recognized in the Jazz Times Critic’s Poll, the quartet is praised for “blending rhythms, sounds, and textures from across the globe with original compositions.”

The ensemble’s new single, “Ukrainian Kolomeyke,” was released soon after the invasion of Ukraine. The tune and dance by the same name is from the Hutsul people of Ukraine.

Proceeds from the sales of the single are being donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross.

Advanced tickets for the concert may be purchased online at thecrystaltheatre.org, by phone at 906-875-3208, or in person at Stage Left, next to the theatre, from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. All students will be admitted free as guests of Crystal Theatre.
