From TRADITION BULLETIN June 6, 2010
Maria Petersen from Omaha has 3 brand new CD’s out featuring her zither. Certainly one of the most difficult of stringed instruments to play, Maria has a very nice and beautiful way with her instrument, made for her by her father. She recorded the projects at Tesco Recording in Omaha, and is more than pleased with the results. She took her zither to Roanoke, Virginia for a concert, to a highly pleased crowd. She will be performing at LeMars too. I love her version of the ‘Third Man Theme’, it’s beautiful.

(Studio note: Maria also features her German/Bavarian vocals on a number of the songs – particularly on her “Bavarian Childhood” disc which showcases songs from her early years growing up in Germany.)
Where can I buy the CDs? Thanks.
If you live close to Omaha you can see Maria performing at the “German American Society” on 120th St. (south of Center next to railroad overpass), Sunday afternoon Dec. 5, 2010. Earl Smith
I learned to play the Zither as a child in Germany and would like to know how I can buy Maria Peterson’s CD set and how much it costs. Is it available through Amazon or Borders? Thank you.
