At the prompting of participants' questions and requests, Kevin will engage in a discussion and demonstration of his experiences and knowledge with regard to Irish fiddle music. Topics which might be covered include (but are not limited to) history, repertoire, style, ornamentation, bowing, and performance skills. Bring your fiddle if you like!

Kevin Burke's sparkling, lyrical fiddle has earned him a reputation as one of the finest, most influential players in music today. From The Bothy Band to Patrick Street, he has defined Irish fiddling for a generation. His work with artists as disparate as Kate Bush, Arlo Guthrie, and Christy Moore has given him an audience that not only spans continents, but defies attempts at categorization. In 2002, Kevin was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship in acknowledgement of his valued contribution to traditional music. He is a highly regarded teacher.
