Next Monthly Meeting:
A Performance by Irish Fiddler Jean Eichstedt!
Friday, November 13
7 PM
First Unitarian Church
3701 Carlisle NE
At our November meeting, we will be entertained by the massive musical talent of our own IAS member Jean McDermott Eichstedt. In Jean’s own words:
“I've been playing music since I was five, when my father taught me piano. Fast forward to 4th grade and I started learning violin through public school music. By the time I got to Albuquerque in the 1980s, I was in the band Distant Cousins, and later on the Raggle Taggle Gypsies. We played quite often for the IAS at the German American Club. I also had a Celtic store near the University called Gypsy Wagon. I play not only trad Irish and Scots but music from all over the world. You might hear Swedish, Russian, Cajun and other styles when I'm playing for you. I also play and teach violin/fiddle, mandolin, guitar, ukulele, and bodhrán, both in person and via computer video links.”
This event is free and open to the public.
Please bring a sweet or salty snack to share.
