About this concert
Thursday, May 30, 7-8:15 pm Instructor: Rachel Bell Cost: $20-$25 sliding scale All instruments welcome. At least basic proficiency required. Pre-registration and payment required by 5/23/24. Register here: http://tiny.cc/May30Workshop Minimum of 10 pre-registrations required to run the workshop. Description: Come learn a “scottish,” a French bal folk version of a couple dance known as a “schottishe” in other parts of the world. The dance is really fun and so are the tunes! The melody of this one is very accessible, leaving plenty of room for playing around with a riff that can go under the tune and some groovy chords. If learning by ear is new to you, never fear! We’ll take it a little piece at a time. If you’re comfy learning by ear, there will be extra parts for you to add so that you feel nicely challenged. :) As we get farther into the workshop, I’ll pass out some sheet music for those who would like to use it as a reference. We’ll have a great time putting the parts together and sounding like a groovy bal folk orchestra by the end! For more information: rachel@rachelbellmusic.com Location: Governor Hunt House Community Center 322 Governor Hunt Road, Vernon, VT This is a very sweet space that just recently got transformed into a community center. It is less than 10 minutes from Brattleboro, VT. If you sign up, I can help you out with tips on how to find it, but my GPS got me there just fine. There’s plenty of parking. They really want to host a lot of music, so let’s go fill up the place with tunes! Tell your friends!

Rachel Bell Biography

Rachel Bell is a performer, tunesmith, and teacher. She is in demand throughout North America and beyond for concerts, contra dances, French bal folk dances, English country dances, workshops, and festivals. She thrives on collaborative musical work, especially with her bands Eloise & Co., Peregrine Road, Alchemy, and Old World Charm School. Her playing spans an enormous range of emotion, from nuanced and sensitive to exhilarating and powerful, pushing the boundaries of what is expected from an accordion. Rachel draws her inspiration from Celtic, French, English, and Quebecois traditions, cranking out new material but also deeply respecting the melodies that have been around for hundreds of years. She is in the midst of an exciting composition project with dance choreographer Susan Kevra. The pair is creating new dance and tune combinations for the English country dance repertoire, many of which are already appearing regularly on dance programs around the country and beyond. Whenever Rachel is not blissing out on a 10-hour rehearsal marathon with her bandmate Becky Tracy or on the road playing gigs, she can be found exploring Vermont's waterfalls or seeking out excellent espresso.
