SUMMARY:Bach's Lunch: Good People All: A Celtic Christmas (Liz & Dan Faiella)
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n \n  \nAs Christmastide draws near\, enjoy music for the season with a Celtic spin\, performed by Liz Faiella\, fiddle and vocals and Dan Faiella\, guitar. Liz & Dan will draw on repertoire from their new Christmas album\, Good People All\, to bring you everything from a fiddler’s take on medieval chant\, to fingerstyle guitar arrangements of carols\, to favorite Christmas folk songs. CDs and digital downloads of the album will be available for purchase at the concert\, as well as winter landscape paintings by Dan Faiella for the art lover on your gift list! \nLiz Faiella’s study of Celtic fiddling\, training in classical violin\, and love of social dancing have shaped her musical approach. Alongside her brother\, guitarist Dan Faiella\, she has taken the stage at premier folk venues throughout New England\, including Club Passim\, the Acadia Trad Festival\, Maine Celtic Celebration\, Little Sea Folk Festival\, and the Boston Celtic Music Festival. An experienced teacher\, she has shared her craft with students at camps\, festivals\, and community music schools. Liz is chair of the Folk Department at the Concord Community Music School in Concord\, NH\, where she teaches fiddle students\, coaches the Celtic Fiddle Ensemble\, and organizes the School’s annual Fall Fiddle Festival. She also is active as a YouTube and Patreon creator\, teaching fiddle tunes and techniques far and wide. \nDan Faiella is a guitarist specializing in traditional Celtic music. Trained as an accompanist through years of playing for New England contradances and for Irish fiddlers\, he has performed at venues and festivals around the country with numerous traditional music groups. In his solo playing\, Dan’s fingerstyle arrangements of traditional songs and tunes draw extensively on techniques and ornamentation from traditional idioms beyond those directly related to the guitar\, such as Celtic harp-playing\, sean-nós singing\, and uilleann piping. Over many years of playing solo and collaboratively\, he has developed an ability to adapt and synthesize these sounds into the context of the unique arrangement capabilities of the guitar. \nBach’s Lunches are free and open to the public. They are made possible in part through the generosity of the Walker Fund.
