Hildaland, Collage Trad

Event Description

Double bill with Hildaland and Collage Trad - mix of Appalachian and Scottish traditions, intertwined with contemporary compositions and Celtic music with a twist!

HILDALAND
Orkney (Scotland) born fiddler Louise Bichan and Indiana (USA) mandolinist Ethan Setiawan present a collaboration and meeting of their musical worlds in Hildaland. A path steeped in the fiddle traditions of their respective sides of the Atlantic, the journey taken wends through Scottish and American soil, celebrating their foundations while intertwining with contemporary composition. Bichan’s fiddle is a melodic foil to Setiawan’s counterpoint and harmonic depth, and the two weave in and out seamlessly.
