Daily performances and workshops featuring Laura Risk.
Laura is known as an outstanding teacher, able to inspire students at any level. She has taught Scottish fiddling at many Scottish and Celitc Fiddle summer camps, and the Southern California Suzuki Institute. She recently completed a five-year tenure as an Instructor of Fiddling at Wellesley College, where she founded the college's first Celtic music ensemble.
From driving reels and passionate strathspeys to lilting jigs, melancholy Gaelic airs, and elegant 18th-century minuets, Laura Risk's fiddling takes you on a rich journey through the diverse repertoires of Scotland and Quebec. Her expressive, versatile playing is described by filmmaker Ken Burns as "a revelation and achingly beautiful." (www.laurarisk.com)
