Notorious (Monthly Program)

Notorious is in town, and for everyone who looks forward to performances by these exciting and versatile performers, this will be a weekend to savor. At home in the worlds of both classical and popular music, Eden MacAdam-Somer is one of the most exciting and versatile young violinists and singers performing today. She has been a featured soloist with symphony and chamber orchestras, jazz and swing bands, bluegrass, DAWG and American folk groups. Eden is also well-versed in the music of other cultures, including Irish music, Eastern-European music, and European music from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Larry Unger, a full-time musician since 1984, is one of the most sought-after rhythm guitar players in the country. His technical proficiency makes his performance look effortless, and his lively rhythmic contributions demonstrate a mastery of contra, Scottish, Old Time, New England, Celtic and waltz music. Larry?s original waltzes and fiddle tunes (more than 600 so far!) have been played and recorded by many musicians and can be heard in the Ken Burns documentary, Our National Parks. FSGW is proud to present these two incredibly gifted performers in concert on Saturday, September 20, at the WES auditorium. (Contra dancers will be pleased to know that Notorious is also playing for the September 19 contra dance at Glen Echo, as well as for the Sunday September 21 waltz and the Sunday night FSGW-sponsored contra dance.)
