Christian Lemaître, André Brunet and Kevin Burke with guitarist Ged Foley (who will not be appearing in our concert).

Kevin Burke

is a world-renowned Irish fiddle master, playing the beautifully fluid, highly-ornamented style of County Sligo. Kevin has been a mainstay of several seminal Irish supergroups, from The Bothy Band to Patrick Street, and has toured and recorded with countless artists. London-born to Sligo parents and now living in Portland, Oregon, Kevin was awarded the National Heritage Award in 2002, America's highest honor in the traditional arts.

Christian Lemaître

is from Brittany, the Celtic region in northwest France. A master of traditional music, and one of the first to translate traditional Breton music to the fiddle, Christian is a member of the outstanding Breton groups Kornog and Pennou Skoulin. His style and repertoire includes hypnotically rhythmic Breton dance tunes with influences from Southern and Eastern Europe.

André Brunet

is a wonderful young fiddle player from the French-Canadian band La Bottine Souriante. André commands a vast repertoire of French-Canadian jigs and reels, plus folk tunes originating from France, England, Ireland, and Scotland, imbued with a color and rhythm particular to Québec.

...with Irish Blessing opening

York's own Irish Blessing has performed extensively in the PA-MD-NJ-NY area for the past several years, sharing with their audiences the finest and purest forms of traditional music and dance. The four members of the Srour family make up this versatile group, led by parents James (flute, low whistle and bodhran) and Cushla (keyboard, flute, whistles). Their two sons, Jonathon (flute and flying feet) and Joshua (fiddle and flying feet) have both achieved World Championship level status with their dance. Jonathon, who ranked fifth in the world in 2005, is embarking on his second tour with Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance throughout North America and Taiwan. Jonathon and Joshua have performed with Eileen Ivers and with Cherish the Ladies.
