- **Event Description**: Music at the Museum presents...

Enjoy an afternoon of fiddle tunes, folksongs and fancy footwork with acoustic duo, John Kirk and Trish Miller. John is the primary vocalist and instrumental wizard on fiddle mandolin and more. Trish plays banjo, guitar and provides fancy footwork with percussive dance steps. Together, this married couple has been working and teaching in upstate New York for over three decades. They present traditional tunes and witty songs with unique arrangements and plenty of chorus songs for the audience to sing along.

In 2022 John was inducted into the North American (and New York) Fiddler’s Hall of Fame. The duo has twice been nominated for New York’s Capital Region Eddie Awards (2022 &amp; 2023). Both are teaching music artists at Skidmore College, and John is part of the music faculty at Bennington College as well. Old time music is the basis for their repertoire, but they also like to mix in some originals, Celtic, early country songs, humorous selections and Appalachian clog dancing. Many songs and tunes are rooted in the local lore of the northeast woodlands. Their story-telling songs, poetic pieces, historical topics and contemporary folksongs make their shows fine entertainment for all ages. They have been given numerous grants for concerts and teaching including their selection by the US State Department to tour various cities in Eastern Europe, South Central America. In schools, John and Trish have conducted programs and residencies in music and dance heritage since the 1990’s. For many years they have taught and performed at summer music camps, museums, libraries, coffeehouses and more. From Carnegie Hall to their local Flurry Festival, John and Trish entertain, and they work to carry on lively traditional tunes &amp; dances.

Music at the Museum programs are presented at no charge, thanks to our generous sponsors, Alison Nowak and Robert Cane.
