Cantrip High-energy Scottish traditional music "One of the most intriguing sounds in Celtic music today. An instrumental sound that travels from the darkness to the light. An unmistakable style and is enormously versatile. Cantrip both has its feet solidly in tradition, and sees innovation clearly from where it is standing." - Celtic Beat Magazine
Sunday, October 21 at 7:30 pm Crossroads Music, 801 South 48th Street, Philadelphia Tickets ($10-30), sounds, and more information at www.crossroadsconcerts.org Cantrip is a trio of Scottish traditional musicians that has been stunning audiences on several sides of the Atlantic for over a decade with its driving blend of fiddle, bagpipes and guitar. The name, an Old Scots word meaning a charm, magic spell or piece of mischief, aptly describes both the unexpected twists and turns in their musical arrangements and the compelling potency of their musicianship. From the strong base of its Celtic roots their music branches out into – and takes influences from – the music of other European cultures. Originally formed as a quartet in Edinburgh, eleven years of evolution has yielded an extensively diverse and still growing catalogue. Weaving together songs and tunes, both traditional and contemporary, Cantrip takes an audience on a cultural journey, putting their own spin on each style. ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity-Announce."
