One of my favorite CDs purchased in the last year is Epiphany Project’s Hin Dagh, a collection of original songs and adapted prayers in various languages including Armenian, Swahili, Aramaic and ancient Welsh. Epiphany Project is the duo John Hodian and Bet Williams. Bet’s full voice and four-octave range and John’s piano compositions make a stunning combination. Add to that a healthy mix of world folk instruments and the album is a feast for the ears. Hin Dagh is their third CD, and the first one to have this range of languages; Bet and John have also recorded separately.
If you live in the Boston area and you haven’t seen Epiphany Project in concert, you will have your chance Saturday night. The time is 8:00 pm and the place is the Amazing Things Art Center in Framingham. Most of their material will be in English, from their previous recordings, but some of the material from Hin Dagh will also be presented. Anyone who attends is in for a musical treat.
The group’s next U.S. appearance, before they go on to tour Europe, is at the Steel City Coffeehouse in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, 8:30 pm Friday March 27.
