The Celtic Ensemble, in their guise as the Elegant Savages Orchestra, will share the cluster of music and dance styles known in contemporary Western Europe as "BalFolk" (literally, "folk-dance"). BalFolk is a modern phenomenon, part of a new wave of European "revivals" which has transformed expectations about who plays which regional folk styles and what that playing means. At the center of the revival is the dynamic interplay between musicians and dancers, and the emotional community created by the dancing.
Admission is free and open to the public!
