Heartstrings is a five-woman group that plays traditional music on acoustic instruments. Their repertoire consists predominantly of music from the Celtic and Appalachian traditions, and these musicians also enjoy exploring music from other ethnic traditions such as Scandinavian, Italian and Klezmer.
Instruments played by the group include fiddle, guitar, mandolin, concertina, hammered dulcimer, banjo, flute, recorder and penny whistle.
On December 15, Heartstrings will be sprinkling in some seasonal music for the holidays!
The members of Heartstrings are Mary Beth Burkholder, Sarah Goldstein, Dottie Palsgrove, Linda Scutt and Carol Van Ausdal. These women have been playing music for 22 years, ever since Sarah and Mary Beth met at a mom and kid playgroup and discovered their shared love of Celtic and Appalachian music.
Donations suggested and all proceeds will be donated to the Yellow Springs Arts Council in memory of Chris Hess.
