About the Event
The Blue Café series of free performances in Camden Opera House’s intimate third floor listening room presents Hildaland on Wed. March 4th at 7:30pm.
Hildaland is a contemporary duo blending Scottish and American traditional music, treating geographic borders as points of exploration rather than limitation. Fiddle player Louise Bichan of Orkney, Scotland, and mandolinist Ethan Setiawan of Goshen, Indiana, met at Berklee College of Music and have since forged a sound that moves from traditional Scottish roots through progressive bluegrass and jazz, inspired by place and journey.
Both highly acclaimed musicians; Setiawanis is a National Mandolin Champion who has performed with artists such as Darrell Scott and Julian Lage, and Bichan is an award-winning fiddler heard on the BBC and at major festivals. Based in New England but closely connected to the Glasgow music scene, Hildaland has developed a distinctive, innovative, and expressive voice that transcends both physical and musical boundaries. Blue Café shows are free to the public and are supported by donations…
