The Susquehanna Folk Music Society (SFMS) has planned virtual two concerts and a virtual mandolin workshop. Donations will be accepted for each of the three events.
The group Fàrsan - which in Gaelic means to range or ramble - will perform Celtic music from Scotland, Canada, and the U.S. on Saturday, May 29, at 7:30 p.m. Fàrsan's performances feature fiddle, pipes, whistles, piano, and accordion united with percussive stepdance and puirt-à-beul (mouth music). The event will begin with a prerecorded concert by the full band, followed by solo mini concerts filmed in each member's home. A conversation with an SFMS member will round out the evening.
On Saturday, June 5, in collaboration with Music at Dickinson, SFMS will present Sierra Hull and Justin Moses for a 4 to 5:30 p.m. virtual mandolin workshop followed by a 7:30 p.m. livestreamed concert of bluegrass and Americana music. This is the first headline act to be announced in the Susquehanna Folk Music Society's schedule of summer events.
Both Hull and Moses have received honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IMBA) as well as Grammy nominations. Married in 2017, the two now often perform as a duo.
During the workshop, "Mandolin Essentials With Sierra Hull & Justin Moses," the artists will dive into technique, tone, and tips to play any form of acoustic music.
