Description

Join us for an evening  of Celtic Music played by some of the best in the region. There will be a concert from 8pm to 10pm, with a jam to follow, so bring your instruments and get in on the fun. 

The evening will feature Pierre Schryer (fiddle), Ian Clark (guitar) and Danielle Enblom (dance).

Pierre Schryer is one of Canada’s leading traditional fiddlers. JUNO nominee, Canadian Folk Music Award nominee, and celebrated performer and producer. He was immersed from an early age in the Franco-Ontarian traditions of his heritage, through multiple fiddle competitions along with his triplet brothers. The Schryer Triplets recorded 2 albums and appeared several times on the “Tommy Hunter Show.”

As a solo performer Pierre has received numerous titles and awards including Canadian Open Fiddle Champion, Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion, Violoneux Championnat, and North American Irish Fiddle Champion. Over the last 15 years, Pierre has released six solo recordings on his own label, New Canadian Records, including “Blue Drag”, which was honoured with a nomination at the 2004 JUNO Awards for best Roots and Traditional Album of the Year, and “Mélange”, which was nominated at the 2008 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Instrumental Solo Album of the Year.

Over 20 years ago, Pierre released a CD "Heat of the Moment", recorded live in Ottawa, with Ian Clark on guitar, at the legendary Rasputin's Café.  This CD has become a favourite of many fiddle players and lovers of fiddle music.  Pierre and Ian will be performing a significant number of tracks from "Heat of the Moment", as well as other material.  The great step dancer, Danielle Enblom, will join Pierre and Ian for several dances throughout the show.  This promises to be a great night of traditional music and dance.
