- $12 – $20

Fiddleworks’ Instructors Showcase Concert features the professional musicians on staff at the 13th Annual Salt Spring Fiddle Camp. This year, feature performers are from Ireland. They will include the Niamh Ni Charra Band featuring dynamic multi-award winning fiddler and concertina player Niamh Ni Charra, who is Ireland’s 2012 Top Female Musician of the Year. Ni Charra toured for eight years as a soloist with Riverdance.  She is joined by avant-garde Irish flutist Cathall King (Celtic Legends) and guitarist Matt Griffin (The Chieftains). Many other musicians will also play in the concert including Juno Award winner Andy Hillhouse – voice, guitar; fiddlers Chelsea Sleep (Twisted String), Karen Dignan, Shamma Sabir (The Sabir Sisters), Zavallennahh; cellist Lea Kirstein; Ken Hall (Sunyata) on pennywhistle and guitar; and Ryan Dignan on percussion.  This is a veritable Folk Festival in one evening. The concert’s proceeds fund bursaries for low-income families to attend Fiddle Camp. The Fiddleworks organizers warmly welcome you to join them for this showcase.
