Ginna Watson (fiddle) & David Burk (historical gut-strung banjo)

Live in Concert in Saint Paul

The Rose Ensemble presents some of its most popular music in this joyful program featuring ballads, dances, hymns and anthems. Witness a musical evolution as our singers and instrumentalists journey through the dance halls of Boston, to Shaker villages and the hills of Appalachia, exploring the harmonies that gave birth to bluegrass.

Technical information: Usually tours in December as a Christmas program, but our extensive early American repertoire can be easily fashioned as a joyful program suitable for any time of the year. Can also be combined with Hawaiian program. Almost any space can work for this performance. Venues with reverberant acoustics will give greater emphasis to the choral works, while more intimate spaces will highlight the quicker tempi, foot-stomping and various instruments.

Equipment needed: 4 chairs, 4 music stands
