"People from many and varied backgrounds, disciplines and fields of interest will find much to enjoy in Sondra and John Bromka’s multi-media program, “From Art to Wood to Music: Sculpted Sound.” Featuring an exquisite collection of photographs, slide show, and performance of relevant musical pieces, the Bromkas cut a wide swath through the cultural history of the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Within the realms of art, music, history, sociology and craftsmanship, the audience will come away with an appreciation of the interconnectedness of all of these areas and a jumping-off point to explore new paths of knowledge."

...."The Marcellus Free Library was extremely pleased with the photo exhibit “Sculpted Sound: From Art to Wood to Music,” in which Sondra and John Bromka brought forth their vast knowledge and enthusiasm for the research and crafting of medieval musical instruments. Their 40-piece photo-documentary exhibit leads the viewer on a journey through time, showing how historic artisans, musicians, and their instruments evolved together. Patrons were in awe of the Bromkas’ elaborate display, which featured gorgeous original photos taken over twenty years of the artists’ research expeditions to Europe..." - Michele Tock, Marcellus Free Library |
