This in-person, up close and personal, unplugged event promises to be a memorable experience for all music lovers.

Bring your acoustic instrument and play through Celtic tunes at 5pm, sponsored by Berkshire Strings.

Then stay for a 7pm concert by legendary Irish fiddler, Kevin Burke.

One of the greatest fiddlers of this or any generation, Kevin Burke is a legend in traditional Irish music. His bow has driven the Bothy Band, Patrick Street, Open House and Celtic Fiddle Festival. He was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship in the US, and in Ireland the prestigious Gradam Ceoil Award  His solo performances of flawless unaccompanied fiddle, delivered with humorous stories of the tunes and their makers, are an absolute delight. Kevin’s easy and welcoming manner leaves the audience feeling like privileged guests, and with a richer understanding of this great tradition. In whatever context, be it guesting with Dervish or Lunasa, with Christy Moore, in a band, or solo, Kevin Burke’s fiddle is a dynamic melodic force, the voice of the master.

Bring a picnic dinner or visit Roberto’s at the dinner break.

Co-produced by Dewey Memorial Hall and Berkshire Strings.
