First Fridays: Gruca White Ensemble

The Gruca White Ensemble was formed in April of 2013 as part of The Music Settlement's Centennial Celebration, and became Artists in Residence for the vibrant community music school the following year.  Classical guitarist Robert Gruca and flutist Linda White offer an entirely new concert experience by alternating the best of the flute and guitar repertoire, their own arrangements of latin, jazz, and rock tunes, and short impromptus - improvised jams in a variety of styles that will make you want to join in. 

On this episode of First Fridays, the Gruca White Ensemble joined WCLV's Angela Mitchell in the KeyBank Studio.
