Jordi Savall and Frank McGuire: The Celtic Viol, Berkeley

Jordi Savall and Frank McGuire: The Celtic Viol in the English, Irish, Scottish, and American Traditions

First Congregational Church, 2345 Channing Way, Berkeley, CA 94704

With his characteristic incisive scholarship and generous musical spirit, Catalan viola da gambist Jordi Savall presents a musical tour of Scottish, English, American, and Irish folk and art music, with Frank McGuire (bodhrán). Savall and McGuire play melancholy laments, elegant dances, and lively reels and jigs. “It’s not just his technical virtuosity…nor the sweet, plangent sounds he draws from his variously sized instruments. The art of Savall goes far deeper, right to the heart of his reverent, wholehearted approach to making music” (The Herald, Scotland).
