JOIN US at our monthly Second Saturday contra dance with the exquisite music of Guillaume Sparrow-Pepin (accordion, keyboard), Alex Sturbaum (guitar) and Clara Constance (harp, fiddle).
Guillaume "draws on jazz, classical, traditional, and world music to play with an expressive and dynamic style." Alex’s rich repertoire is “steeped in musical traditions from both sides of the Atlantic.” Clara is known for her contrastingly ephemeral and driving melodies with Red Case Band and The Gaslight Tinkers. Liz Nelson is well-known for her clear, concise teaching and warm, welcoming presence.
