So much music begins with a heartbeat and a hum, a pulse and a drone. The Swedish duo Symbio is a unique combination of accordion and a hurdy-gurdy, a very old-fashioned hand cranked string instrument. Thursday, Sept. 25th at the UGA Performing Arts Center's intimate Ramsey Concert Hall, Symbio makes their Athens debut. The pair employs electronics to amp up the beat and create textures. For tickets to Symbio at Ramsey Concert Hall, visit PAC.UGA.EDU or call the box office at (706) 542-4400.
