STORY:
Isis Music Hall presents master fiddler Jamie Laval in an intimate acoustic concert of Celtic music and ancient mythic stories on Friday, June 9 at 7:00 pm.
Most of us associate Celtic music with toe-tapping rhythms, bouncy jigs, galloping reels. Jamie promises both the warmly familiar and the bracingly surprising in this program themed towards Celtic music from Brittany, the Gaelic-speaking region of France.
Like their northern relatives, the Bretons favor bagpipes and high energy village dances. Yet the minor keys and hypnotic syncopation give the music of Brittany a strikingly exotic quality. Tarentellas, Laridées, Gavottes, and Ronds are just some of the suprises in store.
