SATURDAY, February 11: Hanneke Cassel
8:00 PM • $20
"Exuberant and rhythmic, somehow both wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness," says the Boston Globe about Hanneke Cassel's playing. Such charismatic fiddling has brought the native Oregonian many honors and awards. She is the 1997 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, she holds a Bachelors of Music in Violin Performance from Berklee College of Music, and she has performed and taught across North America, Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and China. She is accompanied by Ariel Freedman on cello and Chris Lewis on guitar.
FRIDAY, March 16: Jay Ungar
& Molly Mason
8:00 PM • $23
Jay Ungar & Molly Mason are exceptional musicians, which you may know from hearing them on A Prairie Home Companion, from their own live radio program Dancing on the Air on WAMC in Albany, from film soundtracks such as Legends of the Fall and Brother's Keeper. Millions were entranced by the music they did for Ken Burns' PBS documentary on the Civil War, which features Jay's "Ashokan Farewell" as its signature tune.
Molly Andrews is recognized as one of the finest interpreters of southern Appalachian music and varied genres, bringing directness and intensity to everything she sings. She employs particular intuition and versatility as traditional acapella and interpretive singer, multi-instrumentalist and songsmith.
Singer and songwriter Peggy Lynn brings an infectious enthusiasm to all her endeavors. With a sultry, yet powerful alto voice, Peggy gives a clear message of the passion underlying her songs. Her most powerful message, her passion, is for the contributions and burdens of women. Peggy ranges from folksy to blues with equal ease.
John McCutcheon has emerged as one of our most respected and loved folksingers. As an instrumentalist, he is a master of a dozen different traditional instruments. His songwriting has been hailed by critics and singers around the globe. His thirty recordings have garnered every imaginable honor including seven Grammy nominations. But it is in live performance that John feels most at home. It is what has brought his music into the lives and homes of one of the broadest audiences any folk musician has ever enjoyed. People of every generation and background seem to feel at home in a concert hall when John McCutcheon takes the stage, with what critics describe as "little feats of magic," "breathtaking in their ease and grace...," and "like a conversation with an illuminating old friend."
Maybe you caught Ellis at the 2011 Old Songs Festival. She made a lot of fans there, and left the festival toting a lot fewer CDs. An engaging and disarming performer, singer/songwriter Ellis leaves audiences better than she finds them, with softened edges & opened hearts. With songs that capture deep wisdom as well as a childlike playfulness and joy, Ellis’ music is being spread across the globe by fans who are so moved that they have to share it others. A native of Texas, Ellis moved to Minneapolis at the age of 16, where she quickly built a local following that blossomed into a nationwide presence, with extensive touring and seven albums released in the last sixteen years.
Adult concert tickets are $20 or $23 as noted. Tickets
