| March 30, 2008: Kimberley Fraser and Troy MacGillivray | ||
 Less than two months after winning prestigious awards for their solo recordings at Canada's prestigious ECMA Music Industry Conference, Kimberley Fraser and Troy MacGillivray will travel to Woods Hole to entertain us with traditional music from Cape Breton and Nova Scotia.
Each performer began fiddling, playing piano, and stepdancing at a very early age. Although still in her early twenties, Kimberley has already managed to tour North America and Europe to become "one of the stellar players of the Cape Breton fiddle tradition" (Cape Breton Post). A master at the "Cape Breton trifecta" (fiddle, stepdancing, and piano), she was also the pianist for the acclaimed Irish musical group "Cherish the Ladies" during their tour of Sweden in 2004. Troy's talents are influenced by the Celtic music of his Highland ancestors, and by years of orchestral experience and classical music studies at schools that include the Toronto Conservatory of Music. His toe-tapping performances are both ceilidh and concert at its best. We look forward to an evening of invigorating Celtic tunes as these young award winners pair up.
