CONCERTS

Hanneke CasselSATURDAY, Feb. 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.
