Fiddle virtuoso returns to WNC
U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion Jamie Laval will perform at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Balsam Mountain Inn in Balsam.
Laval takes his audience on a musical journey through Scotland, Ireland and Brittany, evocatively reimagining Gaelic love songs, rustic peasant dances and recounting mythic tales from the ancient Celtic world.
Throughout his extensive career, Laval has given a private performance for Her Majesty the Queen, appeared on Dave Matthews’ platinum “Some Devil” album and presented a TEDx Talk on the value of arts and music in our communities.
Laval’s 2012 release, “Murmurs and Drones,” won the popular vote for “Best World Traditional Album” at the Independent Music Awards.
Admission is $30 per person. A dinner and a show option is also available for $55 per person. For more information and/or to purchase tickets, go to thebalsammountaininn.com.
