Anderson Hall, Brewster Academy
Fiddle Masters (Quintet), Celtic inspired traditional music of Scotland and Cape Breton
“One of the most energetic and creative acts to take root in the local Celtic music scene this century… the Scottish Fish ensemble has made the transition from carrying the mantel of the ‘future of Celtic music’ to thoroughly occupying the present”
– Sean Smith, the Boston Irish Reporter (2023)
‘Scottish Fish’, an all-women ensemble, present a fresh take on traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. Their lively and unique arrangements are woven together from session music handed down from generations of the tradition’s finest players, many of whom they have had the opportunity to share the stage with. These five young women have a very long and unique history: they began the band as elementary school children and have remained together for the last decade. Now in their twenties, their intense chemistry is clear in their performances and music. You won't be able to keep your toes from tapping and hands from clapping, especially when experiencing their arrangements live for ‘Friends of Music’!
