SCC Concert: The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc POSTPONED
2020-03-24 19:00 - 20:00 | Scandinavian Cultural Center, 206 Waltham St, Newton, MA, 02465, United States
The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc is a fiddle trio that masterfully blends the traditions of Norway, Sweden, and the Shetland Islands. Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Norway), Anders Hall (Sweden), and Kevin Henderson (Shetland Islands), have swiftly gained a reputation for their gripping and unique blend of fiddle music since the inception of the Bloc in early 2009. They maintain a firm focus on the traditions of their home, while developing a sound that has been described as “meaningful,””intense,” and “invigorating.” Their clever use of harmony, rhythm, riffs, and bass lines creates a sound that leaves the listener enthralled but at the same time dumbfounded that the sound only comes from three fiddles. Cost is $20; $10 for SCC members. More info at scandicenter.org.
“Seldom before can three fiddlers have sounded so well matched as the Nordic Fiddlers Bloc. And seldom before can three fiddles have sounded so much like four and at times five instruments without using electronic trickery.” – The Herald

New Art Center Remote Class: Drawn to Paint
2020-04-01 13:00 - 16:00 | MA
Learning to draw and learning to paint are treated as inseparable in this class. Much of what people think of as painting difficulties are really drawing issues. Half of each class will be spent drawing, practicing specific skills which will help you see. The other half will be painting from observation (still life and figure model), focusing on underlying structure, color and value relationships rather than on detail and “effects”. Bold work will result, and learning to see as an artist is the point. Beginners and more advanced students who wish to get grounded again in the basics (oil or acrylic) are welcome. See website for materials list and more info
Class runs from 4/1 to 5/13, from 1:00PM to 4:00PM. No class on 4/22. Cost: $335.
