Skip Gorman ~ Backup Techniques
A multi-instrumentalist and brilliant fiddler in various Celtic traditions, Skip will share some ideas about how instruments, even fiddles, in an ensemble, can contribute to backing up the tunes.
October Gathering
Our founding music director, Barbara McOwen, will lead our October workshop.
May Gathering
Harpist Dominique Dodge will lead our May workshop, offering a set of Scottish tunes, drawing on Gaelic and West Highland repertoire from the 18th and 19th centuries. Note that this gathering is a departure from our usual 2nd Sunday to avoid meeting on Mother’s Day.
February Gathering
Accordionist Jeremiah McLane will teach our February workshop. Fluent in many different genres of music, most of his work now - both composing and playing - is with traditional Celtic and French music.
