Na Fidleiri: Charleston's Young Irish Fiddlers

Na Fidleiri, founded and directed by Mary Taylor, has been called the nations finest, most unique Celtic fiddling ensemble for young fiddlers. Comprised of 25 fiddlers between the ages of 10 and 18, Na Fidleiri performs repertoire from the Celtic tradition, specially arranged for them. Its members are taught the technique and style of Celtic fiddling, while simultaneously being grounded upon a classical technical foundationemphasizing the close relationship between music of the classical and (in their particular case) Celtic/folk tradition. Na Fidleiri has performed throughout the southeast, including performances at the Swannanoa Gathering, the Savannah and Augusta Irish Festivals, Piccolo Spoleto, Charleston First Night and others. They have been featured on statewide television, and have released a critically acclaimed CD: From the New Country.
