Multi-instrumentalist Dick Hensold will be playing a limited number of engagements this September in the Northeast. Dick was kind enough to submit an article about his approach to interpreting pipe music, which you will find in the post immediate before this one.
The concerts will feature Hensold on Northumbrian smallpipes (a quiet bagpipe from Northeast England), reel pipes (an indoor version of the Scottish Highland pipes intended for Scottish dance music), seljefløyte (Norwegian willow-flute), säckpipa (Swedish bagpipes), pibgorn (Welsh hornpipe), and several other instruments. He will play music in several traditional and historical styles, with particular emphasis on Cape Breton, early Scottish, and Northumbrian, but also including Scandinavian, medieval, and original music. The program also includes a couple of songs, neither of them in English, and a limited amount of dancing while seatedArtist website: www.dickhensold.com
