MICHAEL MANTZ, TOP CRIMINAL LAWYER FROM THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, IS ALSO AN ACCOMPLISHED CIMBALOM PLAYER AND PERFORMED LAST NIGHT 11 OCTOBER 2013 AT THE HISTORIC TAIPEI ZHONG SHAN HALL ON YENPING SOUTH ROAD.
The happy occasion was the 12th Congress of the Cimbalom World Association held from 9 to 13 October 2013 in Taipei, home of 101 Building!
The Cimbalom World Association congress is held once every 2 years and this is the second time it is held in Asia. The first time was in 2005 in Beijing which I also attended as guest of Princess Dr Becky Leogardo and Michael Mantz.
Now it is the 12th congress and Cimbalom World Association has been championing this unique and unusual musical instrument for the past 24 years!
Michael Mantz has been playing the cimbalom for over 40 years and gave a sterling performance in the auditorium of Taipei Zhong Shan Hall.
