Mixed Instrument Workshop
$30 General/$25 CAF Members
Marla Fibish, Rebecca Richman & Lewis Santer will teach a workshop for all instruments. We’ll use a simple Irish tune as a springboard to discuss the music, approaches and techniques for enriching your playing with ornamentation and variation, as well as ideas for harmonic accompaniment.
The Playdate Trio - Marla Fibish, Rebecca Richman & Lewis Santer‍
The Playdate Trio weaves together mandolin, fiddle, and bouzouki into something greater than the sum of its parts—locked-in, interwoven, and full of joyful mischief. Marla's mandolin and mandola, Rebecca's fiddle and concertina, and Lewis's artful bouzouki and guitar, create a sound built on deep listening and shared musical intuition. Rooted in Irish traditional music, they also bring life to original tunes from Marla and their tunesmith friends, along with threads from other traditional styles.
All three are accomplished musicians in their own right. Marla has cultivated a thriving community of mandolin students. Rebecca draws on her music studies at Mills College and years of teaching experience. Lewis is a master luthier who has been building and repairing acoustic instruments since 1986, and has played in traditional Irish bands for decades.
Doors will open at 11:30am and workshop will begin at 12pm.
