Event

Dick Hensold

The concert will feature Dick on Northumbrian smallpipes (a quiet bagpipe from Northeast England), reel pipes (an indoor version of the Scottish Highland pipes, intended for Scottish dance music), seljefløyte (Norwegian willow-flute), säckpipa (Swedish bagpipes), pibgorn (Welsh hornpipe), and several other instruments. He will play music in several traditional and historical styles, with particular emphasis on Cape Breton, early Scottish, and Northumbrian, but also including Scandinavian, medieval, Irish, and original music. The program also includes a couple of songs, neither of them in English, and a limited amount of dancing while seated! Apart from his many influences, though, it is Dicks relaxed and flowing musicality that charms audiences the most. Join us for an intimate musical evening with one of Americas finest and most unusual traditional bagpipers.
