Simple Gifts Folk Music Performance and Ukulele Workshop

Simple Gifts Folk Music Performance and Ukulele Workshop

Simple Gifts will be returning to the Allentown Public Library for another performance of traditional folk music. The concert will begin at 5:00pm and will be immediately followed by a workshop on ukulele basics at 6:00pm. No experience required for the ukulele workshop. Come to one or both events!

Combining tradition with innovation, Simple Gifts creates some of the finest arrangements in folk music today: swing fiddle creeps into a Romanian dance, spoons show up in an Irish reel, and a blues lick introduces a Klezmer melody. Based in the hills of central Pennsylvania, these women play an amazing array of instruments. Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon switch with ease among fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, guitjo, recorders, bowed psaltery, hammered dulcimer, baritone fiddle, guitar, and percussion.

Please call or email to register.
