New album available now in store and online: Fiddling With Traditions

What is "playing with traditions"?

Fiddling With Traditions is a fun, creative, multimedia concert in which violinist/musician Gretchen Koehler and pianist Daniel Kelly share fiddle tunes that evoke everything from the sweeping paint strokes to the intricate stitching and fiery forging of the folk traditions of northern New York. From sweeping musical arrangements to peaceful panoramas, their evocative soundscapes capture the spirit of rug weaving, blacksmithing, quilting, silversmithing, paper making, knitting, painting, and woodworking. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this immersive musical adventure, enhanced by a backdrop of stunning films and images.

The album and digital downloadable maps are available for purchase on the TAUNY website.
