The legendary Irish fiddle player Kevin Burke is visiting Norway for the first time!
We are so proud to offer you this solo concert with one of the great masters of the Irish tradition. Join us in a celebration of Irish fiddle music.

One of the greatest fiddlers of this or any generation, Kevin Burke is known far and wide, a legend in traditional Irish music. His bow has driven the Bothy Band, Patrick Street, Open House and Celtic Fiddle Festival. He was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship in the US, and in Ireland the prestigious Gradam Ceoil Award. His solo performances of flawless unaccompanied fiddle, delivered with humorous stories of the tunes and their makers, are an absolute delight. Kevin’s easy and welcoming manner leaves the audience feeling like privileged guests, and with a richer understanding of this great tradition. In whatever context, be it guesting with Dervish or Lunasa, with Christy Moore, in a band, or solo, Kevin Burke’s fiddle is a dynamic melodic force, the voice of the master.
"A fiddle icon." Irish Music Magazine
“Solo fiddle really doesn't come much better than this. “Alex Monaghan, Folk World
“A lyrical player of emotional electricity.” The Washington Post
“Burke imparts a rhythmic intensity that is remarkably powerful...a superior instrumentalist in any idiom...impressively virtuosic.” The New York Times

As a warm up to Burke’s concert, participants from the Féile Oslo children classes will perform, as well as other representatives from Oslo’s Irish music and dance scene.

For participants of Féile Oslo Summer School:
The ticket is included in your participation fee, but you have to get it here yourself. Choose the category “Deltager” and proceed as if buying a normal ticket. Important: This ticket will only be valid together with your Féile Oslo wristband.
