STEVE BLOOM
Since 1969, Steve Bloom has performed and/or recorded in over a dozen countries. His work in Afro-Cuban folklore, Celtic music, and in Persian percussion has taken him to the Lincoln Center, and top-tier folk festivals around the U.S. In 2006 Bloom performed for the United Nations General Assembly, presented by Ban Ki-Moon, with the SAMA Persian Percussion Ensemble, of which he was co-director. He is co-founder of the Dance Place, a vital organ of DC's cultural landscape, and he has been an integral member of the Celtic Consort, offering concerts for decades during Christmas and St. Patrick's Day festivities under the auspices of Dumbarton Concerts.
