Effervescent and engaging, Boston-based fiddler Hanneke Cassel’s fiddle music fuses influences from the Isle of Skye and Cape Breton with Americana grooves and musical innovations. She has performed and traveled across North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Hanneke’s music is a blend of the contemporary and traditional, described by the Boston Globe as “exuberant and rhythmic, somehow wild and innocent, delivered with captivating melodic clarity and an irresistible playfulness.”

Traditional Scottish music for recorder, based on early manuscripts with Dick Hensold-15 participant limit

According to eminent Scottish musicologist David Johnson, the recorder was an important instrument for playing traditional Scottish tunes in the 1st half of the 18th century in the Scottish lowlands, based on what was found in a number of recorder manuscripts from that period.  Explore some of the music from those MSS with Dick Hensold, with sheet music provided, and notes and discussion of history and interpretation.  Bring an alto recorder; music will be provided for both C and F fingering.  This workshop is intended for both traditional music aficionados, and recorder players more familiar with standard early music practice.  Participants who don’t read music will need to bring recording devices, since the workshop will be mainly taught from written music scores.
