FERINTOSH, featuring Laura Risk on fiddle, Abby Newton on cello and Kim Robertson on Celtic harp, presents the vibrant folk music of Scotland and of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where Scottish Highland music has continued in a living tradition since the 18th century. From poignant airs to high-spirited strathspeys and reels, their dynamic arrangements unleash both the subtle beauty and rhythmic energy of this timeless music.
In 18th century Scotland, the boundaries between "art" music and the"people’s" music were less distinct than today. The same musicians who performed for the lords and ladies in their castles also played in the townhalls for dances. Ferintosh’s unique musical focus transcends modern distinctions between "classical" and "folk" music. Their dynamic arrangements unleash both the subtle beauty and primal energy of this historic music.
Their sound combines the soulfulness and energy of traditional Scottish music with the precision and nuance of Baroque music.
All three musicians have been featured on NPR's Thistle & Shamrock. Robertson has a dozen CDs to her credit, including two on the Narada label. Risk has released several solo and ensemble recordings, with her debut CD "Celtic Dialogue" named Boston Globe’s “Top Ten CDs of 1999”. In addition to her 2 solo CDs, Newton has recorded and produced numerous recordings to critical acclaim both in the US and the UK.
FERINTOSH presents vibrant renditions of the music that kings and tradesmen alike heard in centuries past, from poignant aires to high spirited strathspeys and reels..
