With years of combined English dance experience, as musicians, dancers and dance leaders, these three also provide enchanting couple dance music with a mix of styles spanning the globe – effervescent French bourrées, sultry Argentinian tangoes, jaunty schottisches and French love songs. Here is a rare chance to hear Andromeda live in a concert setting.
Many of you know pianist Jacqueline Schwab for her role in the band, Bare Necessities, whose sound has influenced English Country dance musicians in the states and overseas for decades. Her signature solo playing features in over a dozen of Ken Burns’ documentaries, including the Civil War, Baseball, Mark Twain and others), She has performed on PBS as a soloist with The American Pops Orchestra in addition to countless solo concerts of vintage American, traditional Celtic and other music in almost every state in the Union.
