[box]The Countryside Concerts are back!
AF’s beloved programs placing historical folk music in rustic settings have charmed audiences for over 20 years. Following a hiatus during the pandemic, these award-winning concerts “at the crossroads of art and tradition” now return – to some NEW venues![/box]
The Road to Dublin
Dublin – the ancient city of pubs, pints, and castles. Wandering bards and musicians have traveled the road to Dublin for centuries. In this new program from Jeannette Sorrell, haunting ballads and legends give way to driving reels, as Celtic fiddlers set sparks flying. Irish singer Fiona Gillespie joins the merry instrumentalists on fiddles, flute, cello, hammered dulcimer, plucked instruments, and harpsichord.
Refreshments available before the concert and at intermission.
“Never think that classical music is boring – not when it’s performed by Apollo’s Fire!”
