Fiddling With Traditions- Massena, NY

The Massena Schine Theater in conjunction with Massena Concert Series is proud to present Fiddling With Traditions, live at the Massena Central High School auditorium! Water and refreshments will be sold by the Massena Schine Theater volunteers to raise funds toward the restoration of the historic Schine Theater in downtown Massena. This event is free for all to attend, however donations to cover expenses will be kindly accepted.

Fiddling With Traditions is a fun, imaginative, multimedia concert that features fiddler/tunesmith Gretchen Koehler & pianist Daniel Kelly sharing fiddle tunes that evoke everything from sweeping paint strokes, to intricate stitching, to the fiery forging of Northern NY's folk traditions. From heart pumping musical arrangements to peaceful panoramas, their expressive soundscapes capture the spirit of rug braiding, blacksmithing, quilting, silversmithing, paper making, knitting, painting and woodworking. Audiences of all ages will enjoy this captivating musical adventure enhanced by a backdrop of gorgeous film and images.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the St. Lawrence County Arts Council.
