SUMMARY:FREE WORKSHOP with The Alturas Duo
DESCRIPTION:The Alturas Duo will lead a FREE interactive educational workshop for students ages 5-12 on March 25 at 5pm. Through the workshop\, students will learn to incorporate other art mediums to deepen their understanding and create work inspired by South American folk art. \nTheir workshop will include short musical examples from their repertoire\, and an introduction to the various instruments they play including the viola\, guitar\, charangos and Venezuelan cuatro. Fortunately\, when their good friend Gonzalo Cortes joins\, those instruments expand to include the quena (Andean flute) zampona (pan flutes) and classical flute! The workshop will explain how African\, European and Native cultures came together to create South American folk music as we know it today\, and how natural elements affect everything from the materials used to make instruments (armadillos\, bamboo\, and goat toenails to name a few!) to how musicians use their surroundings to influence their songwriting and rhythms. \nLearn more and register here.

Mark O’Connor’s touring ensemble includes his wife Maggie O’Connor on fiddle and vocals as well his son Forrest O’Connor on mandolin\, guitar and vocals. \nMark O’Connor’s An Appalachian Christmas album (2011) reached the #1 ranking on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album charts. Hailed by critics from the Wall Street Journal\, New York Times and Los Angeles Times as a top 10 album of the holiday season\, it has become a perennial classic Christmas recording. \n“All Christmas music should be played so elegantly on violin” — Boston Globe  \n“Heavenly” – Associated Press  \n“Elegant” – New York Times
