Concert Series – Hammered Dulcimer and Double Bass 

On Sunday, November 20, 2022 at 4pm, we are thrilled to welcome Tina Bergmann & Bryan Thomas, who are a Northeast Ohio husband and wife duo playing American Old Time, Celtic, and South American Music on hammered dulcimer and bass. Tina is a virtuoso hammered dulcimer player known for her driving energy, syncopated rhythms, and fine musicality. Described by Pete Seeger as “the best hammered dulcimer player I’ve heard in my life,” Tina has also been promoted as the “Diva of the Dulcimer” by Apollo’s Fire, Cleveland’s Baroque Orchestra.  Bryan Thomas is a dynamic and conversational double bassist, sought for his ability to embrace tradition but defy convention.  Together, Tina and Bryan create a surprising and wonderful musical experience that has enthralled audiences throughout the United States, and we are delighted to welcome them to the PUMC Sanctuary as part of our 2022-2023 PUMC Concert Series!
