The Dance Hall is excited to welcome back Hildaland, joined by Dearest Dear for a night of Celtic, French, and New England folk music.
A contemporary collage of Scottish and American traditional music, Hildaland is a duo that approaches geographic borders as markers of exploration rather than boundaries to be wary of.
Fiddle player Louise Bichan, originally from Orkney, Scotland, and mandolinist Ethan Setiawan, originally from Goshen, Indiana, have taken their duo from traditional Scottish roots through to progressive bluegrass and jazz, with music inspired largely by places and the journeys between them, both physical and musical.
“a captivating fusion of folk traditions” -Tradfolk
Rooted in the musical traditions of New England, Dearest Dear present traditional tunes from Ireland, New England, Quebec, and France, and craft vocal harmonies for age-old songs with modern relevance. Featuring Helen Kuhar (guitar, vocals, harmonium) and Rose Jackson (fiddle, vocals).
