Concordance: Six local musicians with a mission to create concord on the dance floor. They aim to give you a treat for your ears, a beat for your feet, and a smile on your face. The band consists of Leith Davis on fiddle, Maureen Collier on flute, Ken Hamer on mandolin and percussion, Eileen Sterns on octave mandolin, tenor banjo, accordion, harp, hammer dulcimer (and whatever else she pulls out of her musical bag of tricks), Eric Hawthorne (Irish whistles) and Connie Balaz on piano.
Mayne Island's Caller Dieter Brock came to contra dancing when he needed a safe space to dance. To him the magic of contra dancing is about co-creating a safe space in which we can play together, adjusting in each moment to what each new person brings. Dieter brings warmth, humour and clarity to his calling.
All welcome. Bring your friends. Hope to see you there!
