PRESS RELEASE:
Madeline MacNeil, renowned Mountain and Hammered Dulcimer player, will perform a concert on Saturday, February 27th at Immaculate Conception Church in Hendersonville. The performance will begin at 7pm and tickets will be sold at the door for $10.00 (no tickets will be sold prior to the evening of the concert).
Madeline MacNeil’s audiences hold their collective breath as the last notes of her songs drift into the tableau of stages large and small. Since 1972, when she began performing in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park, Madeline’s goal has always been to bring listeners into the song. Her interest in stories first brought the mountain and hammered dulcimers to her attention, for they are part of this country’s musical history. This is part of Madeline’s treasure as a performer: she sings and tells the stories with her beautiful voice and exceptional dulcimer skills.
Dulcimer workshops will be held at Immaculate Conception church the Saturday of the concert. Space is limited for the workshops, so call church office at 693-6901 to register.
All proceeds from the concert will benefit Immaculata Catholic School.
