Cinnamon Bird w/ Jane Hall

After their morning show for families, Cinnamon Bird and Jane Hall return with a full-length concert for adults. School-aged kids are welcome to come for free if they dont mind sitting for formal concerts.

Crossing boundaries, Cinnamon Bird unites early music with folk traditions to create a fresh, collaborative style. Join Ruthie Dornfeld and Shulamit Kleinerman as they journey through 800 years of fiddle music from medieval melodies on matched vielles and percussion to traditional tunes from France, England, Appalachia, and Scandinavia on baroque and modern violins. The program also includes some of Ruthies own beautiful new double-vielle compositions, completed with the support of an Artist Trust GAP grant. Arabic percussionist Jane Hall joins in to help create the sound of a time when some of the best things in Europe came from further east like medieval fiddles, and cinnamon.
