Guest Concert: Simple Gifts Instrumental Duo

Friday, September 29, 2017, 7:30 p.m

DeMeester Recital Hall, Wolf Hall

Two women plus 10 instruments! Drawing on an impressive variety of ethnic folk styles, this award-winning duo plays everything from lively Irish jigs and down-home
American reels to hard-driving Klezmer freilachs and haunting Gypsy melodies, spicing the mix with the distinctive rhythms of Balkan dance music, the lush sounds of Scandinavian twin fiddling, and original compositions written in a traditional style. Combining tradition with innovation, simple Gifts creates some of the finest arrangements in folk music today.
