Wherligig Summer Solstice Concert in Westminster on June 21, 2007 at 7 PM

Posted June 17^th, 2007

A good friend of mine, an artist colleague, and former neighbor from Patapsco, Kenny Koons has, since 1985, performed traditional music from the Celtic and Nordic lands with his family in a group called Wherligig.

Kenny recently called to my attention that Wherligig will be performing this Thursday in Westminster.

He wrote:

Wherligig, the traditional Celtic and Nordic music trio, will perform a Summer Solstice Concert on June 21 at 7 pm at the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster Maryland.

Wherligig is a family ensemble composed of Ken, Stephanie and Ryan Koons of Westminster, Maryland.

Since 1985, they have performed traditional music from the Celtic and Nordic lands on handmade acoustic instruments including the hammered dulcimer, neo-Celtic harp, fiddle, nyckelharpa, hurdy-gurdy, psaltery, Appalachian dulcimer, tin whistle, and guitar. Ken has built or restored the instruments that Wherligig uses in performance.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for CCAC members, Seniors 60+, and students 18 and younger. Tickets may be purchased or reserved at 410-848-7272.

The Carroll Arts Center is located at 91 West Main Street, Westminster, MD 21157.

Come experience a versatile ensemble performing centuries old music. For more information please go to www.wherligig.com or www.carr.org/arts.

I’ll look forward to seeing you there!
