On January 16, 2016, Place des Arts welcomes Rosie Carver and Blackthorn with a guest piper to perform for the Faculty Performance Series.
Back by popular demand for the fourth year, fiddler and faculty member Rosie Carver with Celtic band Blackthorn and a guest piper invite you to celebrate Scotland's national bard, Robbie Burns! Blackthorn will feature the musical traditions of Scotland with a special focus on Burns' songs.
Come for the concert at 7:30pm or come early at 6pm to enjoy a delicious Scottish-inspired supper and stay on for the concert. From lively jigs and reels to heart-wrenching airs and ballads, you will savour Blackthorn's rendition of Scottish melodies and the intricately woven harmonies that bring this music to life in a new way, amply flavoured with humour and above all else, fun! At the end of the first set, the guest piper will pipe in the haggis and recite the Address to a Haggis. (Yes, we promise to share a wee sampling of this traditional delicacy with you!)
Robert Burns, born January 25, 1959, poet and lyricist known affectionately as "Rabbie" Burns, is the focus of world-wide celebrations by Scots and their admirers nearly 250 years later. It is Burns' genius that the sound and rhythm of his words, whether set to music or recited, create an emotional bond that is ageless...an immortal of everyday life as relevant today as yesterday.
