Fiddling Through Time: Cross-tuning from Baroque to Appalachia
Wednesday, 7:30 pm
Venue: The Kosciuszko Foundation: 15 E 65th St, NYC
Amelia Sie & Friends take us on an enchanting exploration of scordatura from seventeenth century Italian, German, and Scottish, to the modern fiddle of Appalachia.
Scordatura is a tuning of a string instrument that is different from the normal, standard tuning. It typically attempts to allow special effects or unusual chords or timbre.
