Simple Gifts Trio will present a wide variety of ethnic folk music, including lively Irish jigs, down-home American reels, hard-driving Klezmer freilachs, haunting Gypsy melodies, and exotic Balkan dance tunes. This award-winning band performs on an impressive array of instruments, including two violins, concertina, mandolin, hammered dulcimer, recorders, guitar, and piano, plus some less familiar instruments like the bowed psaltery, baritone fiddle, banjolin, guitjo, tabla, and doumbek. |
