Ayreheart:
Renaissance - Traditional Roots - Contemporary Folk
Friday, November 20
7:00 p.m. | The Hill Theater in the Scott Center | Free
Renaissance meets traditional roots meets contemporary folk, this is lute-driven music for modern folk, in a unique blend of lute with vocals, colascione (a kind of bass lute), violin, guitar, and percussion.
Ayreheart, a progressive, renaissance-folk quartet founded by GRAMMY-nominated lutenist Ronn McFarlane, restores the lute to its former glory – but in a modern context. With backgrounds in rock, folk, and jazz, the members of Ayreheart bring fresh energy to old traditions.
Location: Kelly W. Hill Theater - Scott Center, Room T 304
