Celtic Corner presents Glencoe
Friday, OCTOBER 16, 7:00 PM · Black Mountain Presbyterian Church
GLENCOE: Asheville’s Award-Winning Scottish Supergroup
From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, an area historically settled by Highland Scots who made their music part of Appalachian culture, comes a new American Scottish supergroup: GLENCOE. Adopting the name of both a historic village in Scotland and an early settlement near Asheville (now part of Pisgah National Forest), Glencoe honors the Scottish connection with the group’s mountain home.
Piper ROSALIND BUDA plays the Scottish smallpipes, Border pipes, whistle, and the mighty Great Highland Bagpipes with the same power and authority with which she performs in her other life as a master classical bassoonist. Four-time National Scottish Harp Champion SUE RICHARDS has won multiple Wammie Awards, including Album of the Year, from the Washington Area Music Association for her solo recordings, and a Grammy nomination as a member of Ensemble Galilei. Guitarist/citternist ROBIN BULLOCK, a longtime touring sideman with Grammy-winning folk legends Tom Paxton and Janis Ian, is a recipient of the Association for Independent Music’s Indie Award with the trio Helicon. All three are also prolific composers, creating new music that blends seamlessly into Scottish tradition.
From the first note they strike, Glencoe makes clear their mastery of Scottish tradition and their sheer joy at bringing it to life together. A Glencoe performance is an irresistible and unforgettable experience for all lovers of Celtic music.
Celtic Corner and Pan Harmonia bring adventurous programming to audiences throughout WNC.
The intimacy of chamber music draws you in and connects you with the music and each other.
Come experience the Celtic Corner of the world!
