Fiddling With Traditions is a fun, imaginative, multi-media concert that features fiddler/composer Gretchen Koehler & pianist Daniel Kelly sharing fiddle tunes that evoke everything from sweeping paint strokes, to intricate stitching, to the fiery forging of Northern NY's folk traditions. From heart pumping musical arrangements to peaceful panoramas, their expressive soundscapes capture the spirit of rug braiding, blacksmithing, quilting, silversmithing, paper making, knitting, painting and woodworking. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this captivating musical adventure enhanced by a backdrop of gorgeous film and photography.

This event will coincide with the New York State Art Teacher’s Association conference at Sagamore and on this evening there will be an Art Walk which is open to the public for viewing and to purchase art from local artists and crafts people.
