Gypsy Violin Workshop with Eden MacAdam-Somer

Thursday , October 18, 2007
06:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Location: Elderly Instruments
workshop ($35.00)

This workshop will provide students an opportunity to learn some tunes from the Eastern-European Gypsy cultures, as well as the technique that goes with them. During this class Eden will also explore general tips to make fiddling easier. All are welcome to attend, but this class will be geared for those who have at least a rudimentary knowledge of the violin. For the last 10 minutes students will join with students from Larry Unger's accompaniment workshop to put their new skills into action.

Eden MacAdam-Somer has earned degrees from the Moores School of Music at the University of Houston as a student of Fredell Lack, and the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University as student and teaching assistant of Kenneth Goldsmith. Although she spends much of her time touring with guitarist Larry Unger as the band Notorious, Eden now lives in Boston, where she maintains an active performance and recording career as well as classical and fiddling studios privately, and at the Southshore Conservatory.

Eden currently performs with Notorious, the Bagboys, Istanpitta, the MacAdam-Somer String Quartet, and numerous other ensembles. She is always eager to meet new students of all ages and welcomes projects that include studio work, writing string arrangements, and teaching/performing music of all kinds.
