Jenna Moynihan & Friends

The Concord Conservatory of Music will present Scottish fiddler and experimentalist Jenna Moynihan for a 7:00 pm concert and 5:00 pm masterclass on Saturday, May 7th. Widely regarded as an incredibly talented acoustic musician, Jenna’s also well-known for her versatile and inventive fiddling, which draws strongly from the Scottish tradition but is not limited by it.

Jenna’s music is playful and upbeat with exceptional skillfulness, perfected intricate and lively bowing, and with her toes in constant motion. New England-born artist and guitarist Owen Marshall will join Jenna for this concert. Collaborators before, they complement each other’s playing exceptionally well—as he too has been immersed in the various textures and sounds of the Celtic music spectrum for decades.

In her masterclass before the concert, Jenna will walk us through a few of the unique characteristics of Celtic music styles and cover essential forms, ornamentation, and phrasing. Students will walk away with exciting techniques to practice and a couple of beautiful tunes to play.

Jenna graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston and received two honors given annually to one outstanding string player: the Fletcher Bright Award and The American Roots Music Award. She continually collaborates with many professional artists and groups and soloed for the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall.

Tickets can be purchased online in advance at concordconservatory.org or at the door: $45 for the masterclass and concert tickets, $20 for the concert only, or $25 for the masterclass only (both events are free for students 18 and under).
