About this concert
Called 'three of the finest folk violinists anywhere' by The Washington Post, Celtic Fiddle Festival celebrates the violin in all its globe-trotting variations. Fiddlers Kevin Burke (Ireland), Christian Lemaître (Brittany, France) and Capercaillie's own Charlie McKerron (Scotland) showcase a fascinating juxtaposition of international and individual styles.Sold-out tours and standing ovations give testimony to the electricity and excitement generated by the group. Along with acclaimed guitarist Nicolas Quemener (Brittany), the quartet combines their talents, musical traditions, and spontaneous humour for an evening of dazzling energy and subtle grace. These traditional masters showcase their regional repertoires and together conjure an experience of breathtaking performances.

Celtic Fiddle Festival Biography

Celtic Fiddle Festival was originally conceived as a unique touring project in 1992, with Burke, Lemaître, and the great Scottish fiddler Johnny Cunningham. The group proved such a success that a live recording was released. That first album, simply titled Celtic Fiddle Festival (1993, Green Linnet), received glowing critical reviews and racked up impressive sales. Four albums and numerous international tours later, the ensemble is now one of the most popular on the Celtic circuit. Sadly, the world lost Cunningham with his unexpected passing in 2003. The Celtic Fiddle Festival’s live CD, Play On (2005, Green Linnet), was dedicated to Johnny.
