SATURDAY Jan 19, 2008 7:30-9:30pm	Ishtar A night of international music with Pittsburgh's best bellydance band, Ishtar, featuring Melissa Murphey - clarinet, Jeff Chmielarski - bass, Mark DiFilippo - doumbek, Beth DiFilippo - percussion, and Rob Metil on Fender Strat guitar. Ishtar plays folk songs from all over the Middle East and Mediterranean; songs that were popular in the bellydancing club scene during the mid-20th century.
