Thistle & Shamrock for January 13, 2007
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM
[Program Website]
Today's Highlight: The Master and the Maker
Meet Chris Norman, one of today’s leading players of traditional and baroque flute, as he tells us about the role of his instrument in the music of Scotland and Canada. In a two-for-one special, we also meet his travel companion, the fascinating flute maker Rod Cameron.
Viewing her program as an on-air community, Fiona Ritchie has created a gathering place for anyone who enjoys music from Celtic roots, and loves to accompany her across the bridges she builds between the traditional and the contemporary, between Celtic music and the world.
The object of international critical acclaim, Thistle comes to listeners from Perthshire in the heart of Scotland, where Ritchie weaves the textures of her musical world into a richly entertaining program. Step into the heart of an ancient tradition of reels, jigs, ballads, and laments. Then follow the pulse towards new music: an exuberant blend of irresistible rhythms, emotional voices, and fascinating instruments.
