NW Scottish Fiddlers to Perform at Northwest Folklife Festival on Friday, May 25th, 4:00 PM at the Center House Theater

4 May

Club members need to be at the Center House Theater by 3:30 to tune up and warm up.  The Center House Theater is the same venue we’ve had for the last couple of years and we’re excited to be there again!  It’s a great space for us.

 

Rehearsal for Folklife is Scheduled:  Club members will rehearse our Folklife sets at our regular meeting, scheduled for Sunday, May 20th, at the Calvin Presbyterian Church in Shoreline.  Teens begin rehearsing at 1:00 PM and everyone else will rehearse beginning at 2:00 PM.  The Board will meet at 1:00 PM as usual.  We’ll have snacks and conversation after the meeting, so don’t miss out!

Teens a hit at the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band 60th anniversary concert

25 Mar

As Director of Music for the Northwest Scottish Fiddlers, Calum MacKinnon must certainly feel proud of the youth in this organization.  His love of Scottish fiddle music and his passion for teaching has an affect on young and older musicians so much so that they feel confident to perform and display their musical skills in front of the general public.

Three of the many teens in this group performed at the Kirkland Performance Center, WA from March 8 through 10th.  Christina Smith, Vienna Scheyer and Niki Love gave a crowd pleasing performance as special guests at the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band concert.  They were accompanied by accomplished pianist, Guinevere Saenger.  The four of them delighted the audience.
