An Evening of Scottish Fiddle Music

Calum MacKinnon, Muriel Johnstone, Keith Smith

Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church - 7500 Greenwood Ave N, 7:30PM

General Admission: $15
$2 off for SFS members and seniors, kids half price

Calum MacKinnon, Keith Smith (fiddle) and Muriel Johnstone (piano) are all internationally known exponents of the traditional Scottish music repertoire. Keith and Muriel travel the world as a Scottish fiddle and piano duo, and Calum and Muriel perform as another Scottish music duo throughout the US and Canada. Their schedules seldom allow them to perform as a trio, but this September, the Seattle Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society’s annual Fort Worden Dance weekend has brought them together and they are taking the opportunity to give a special concert for the Seattle audience. They will be playing selections from their respective repertoire of the fiddle music of Scotland, including original compositions by all three, as well as some collaborative trio sets.

As a bonus, one of Calum’s students, Christina Smith will be making a guest performance. Fifteen years old, Christina recently traveled to Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in North Carolina to compete in a Regional Scottish Fiddle competition. Passing up the 'junior' category to compete in the Open division, Christina won 1st place - in a field of six competitors which included last year’s Scottish Fiddling National Champion who came in second!

Come enjoy an evening of the beautiful and dynamic music of Scotland. This special 'pre-season' concert takes place in the sanctuary of the Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church – just north of our usual concert series at the Phinney Neighborhood Center.
