What happens when the traditions of Scotland and the Balkans come together?
Join us at Tapestry Folkdance Center for Thistle & Rose: A Celtic-Balkan Fusion, an unforgettable evening of live music and dance that blends two rich folk traditions into one extraordinary performance.
The evening begins with vibrant performances of traditional Scottish and Bulgarian music and dance, featuring Highland and Bulgarian instruments, singers, and dancers. The performance then evolves into an original fusion work by bagpiper and composer James Johnson, weaving together Celtic melodies with the energetic rhythms and unique time signatures of Balkan folk music.
