Barrage - High Strung
Sunday, March 1, 2009
Having long ago moved beyond simply walking and chewing gum at the same time, the performers of Barrage put their impressive arrays of skills to the test by performing complex and energetic fiddle tunes while dancing and singing, creating a fiddle performance like nothing you have ever seen before. The LuCille Tack Center for the Arts is bringing in Barrage in "High Strung," an eclectic and energetic combination of fiddle and dancing, on Friday, March 13th at 7:30pm.
Barrage is a musical group based in Calgary that consists of an international cast of players. Six fiddlers tour with a drummer, guitarist, and bass player to create this stunning performance. The new Barrage performance "High Strung" offers up a diverse fusion of cultures, musical styles and incredible performance vitality. The music of Barrage continues to evolve - combining contemporary world music influences, layered vocal arrangements and pulsating modern beats and rhythms. The cast delivers the new show with amazing energy and musical virtuosity that will take your breath away.
Barrage is a group that is constantly evolving, with new tunes, new moves, new sounds, and new performers. New members are chosen through intensive auditions that are held around the world, and train for several months before touring. The constantly rotating cast helps provide the impetus for the fluidly changing sights and sounds of the show.
As if the brilliant fiddle skills displayed by the players weren't enough, the show also features an incredible variety of music- everything you ever thought of playing on violin, and a whole lot more. The styles of music they feature includes bluegrass and jazz, pop and rock, gypsy and folk tunes, Latin rhythms, classical repertoire, and Celtic jigs and reels. And through it all runs the foot-tapping beat and rhythm, and unflagging energy.
In addition to the concert, there will be a chance to meet the performers and chat about the show, their backgrounds, life on the road, or whatever questions you may have. This TheatreTalk presentation begins at 6:00pm at the Spencer High School Commons.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $12 for youth, and are available at the LuCille Tack Center for the Arts, 300 School St., Spencer, online at www.lucilletackcenter.com or by phone at 715-659-4499.
Sponsored in part by the generosity of: Joe & Kathy Burnett, Tracy Olson & Patty Faber, Progressive Travel, Wis Arts Board and Wis Public Radio.
