    Die Tanzgeiger (The Dance Fiddlers) is the name of an ensemble hailing from the eastern provinces of Austria. This group uses a delightful combination of fiddles and other instruments to produce traditional folk music from Austria. These versatile tunes inspire dancing but are also valued in a concert setting. When listening to the music of the Tanzgeiger, one is transported into an atmosphere of powerful, heartfelt, and genuine music, with just the right dose of jaunty sass. People unfamiliar with authentic Austrian folk style are always surprised by its subtlety, complexity, and unusual sounds.

    Composer, and classical music reviewer for the Albuquerque Journal.  

    Was the man from Stratford who wrote the poems and plays we attribute to "Shakespeare" the actual author?  The Shakespeare Authorship controversy has been raging for years, and it is one that stands on shaky legs indeed.  A careful examination of the facts indicates  is a very complicated subject and by no means one that can be lightly dismissed.  More and more genuine research is appearing and the list of signers of the Declaration of Reasonable Doubt grows continually.  

    This class will examine the facts as we know them:

    1)  Did the man from Stratford write the plays and poems?

    2)  If not, who did?
