Celtic Evening with Dancing Strings at The Music Hall
Dancing Strings is a local family band with roots here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Four artists come together to create a dynamic quartet featuring Irish and Celtic favorites, along with pieces that hint at Appalachian roots.
With Gail Moore on guitar, her daughter Jessica Phaup and Jessica’s best friend Amelia LaVanchy both on violin, and Gail’s son Jonathan Moore on jimbay, these four instrumentalists have come together to create an official ensemble after making music together in the Central Virginia area for the past decade. It is the hope and desire of Dancing Strings to bring something culturally expansive to our local community, and to create a warm, engaging, and transportive experience for their audience.
With numbers to get your feet stomping, and an occasional waltz to take your partner to the dance floor, this evening at the Music Hall will feature collaborations with some surprise guest artists and will be a St. Patrick’s celebration that you and your friends won’t want to miss.
