The music performances are authentic and high energy...Great to see they are getting out to southwest Virginia...The dancer is high quality and a good addition to the ensemble...There is a need for this genre of music." - Virginia Commission for the Arts. {Note to tax-exempt venues in MD, VA or DC: You may be eligible for a grant to assist in presenting IONA - contact us!} For Information & Bookings call (202) 258-7602 or email You are visitor number Thanks for stopping by!
