European Ensemble & Capriccio Dance Band Variety Singer from San Jose, CA

Duo Internationale - Liana, a high talented mezzo soprano who received her advanced music and vocal training in her native Prague, has performed throughout Europe prior to relocating in the US. Joe's technical mastery of the digital-acoustic accordion brings some sophisticated and surprising instrumental arrangements to their repertoire. And, Joe's expressive control of the breathing bellows and delicate reeds of his acoustic accordion adds a nostalgic flair to Liana's haunting and alluring vocals in multiple languages, while Joe's expert deployment of the digital capabilities of his accordion just the right temperament to embellish Liana's reverent Ave Maria or her vivacious cabaret style vocals. This duo is a superb choice for entertainment at your concert, elegant dinner, party, celebration or cabaret style event. Joe Domitrowich, one of the San Francisco Bay area's noted – and certainly it's most unique – accordionists, and the highly accomplished vocalist, Liana Braunova Derner, join to bring you an entertaining repertoire of unique arrangements ranging from European traditional (Piaf, Dark Eyes, Tancuj, Tancuj and many more) and light classical – for example, Habanera (Bizet) or the reverent Ave Maria (Schubert) - and opera to Broadway hits and even pop favorites.

Café Vienna Trio - Joined by highly talented concert violinist Dave Dally, these professional musicians widen their musical offering and expand their instrumental repertoire of traditional ethnic and classical selections to countries throughout Europe, including the Schrammel music of late nineteenth century Vienna. Imagine sitting and sipping wine from the latest harvest in the famous Grinzing quarter of Vienna – the historic music capitol of the world, while being entertained by accordion, violin and vocals exuding the music of Johann Schrammel, Fritz Kreisler, the gypsy music of Hungary, as well as other European and Hollywood and Broadway music classics such as that from Fiddler on the Roof and the movie The Third Man. With performers dressed in formal attire, this chamber-like ensemble is an excellent choice to set the ambiance for public or private events such as the cocktail hour preceding the dinner at your wedding or anniversary celebration, or a gala ballroom filled with dancers to a Strauss Waltz. And, the groups can be augmented with percussion for venues where dancing is part of the event. Capriccio Ballroom Dance Band - After a performance by Duo Internationale or Café Vienna, round out your late afternoon or evening with Joe's Capriccio Dance Band configured with accordion and violin, adding guitar/vocals and percussion for a wide danceable repertoire after the dinner portion of your event. Capriccio Dance Band specializes in a broad spectrum of ballroom standards from East and West Coast Swing, and Latin – Cha-cha, Rumba, Tango – to Foxtrot, Night Club 2-Step, Viennese Waltz, and even 50's to 70's classic rock for a well-rounded dance experience. Capriccio Dance Band is also available separately for dance venues and events. See Joe's profile as soloist accordion under Capricious Accordion for additional background and information.
