If you were at the New World Festival in Randolph this past year, you may have seen Ten Strings And A Goat Skin pack the hall with adoring fans. From Prince Edward Island, Canada, with seemingly ceaseless energy, Jesse Périard and brothers Rowen Gallant and Caleb Gallant, ignite onstage as Ten Strings And A Goat Skin.
Fiery, unique and rhythmically innovative, this bilingual fusion trio from Prince Edward Island performs a repertoire of Irish, Acadian, French and original music. The talented young musicians of Ten Strings And A Goat Skin deliver the kind of tight, polished performances one might expect from seasoned players, and won the 2015 East Coast Music Association Award for World Music Recording of the Year. With Caleb Gallant, 18 years, as percussionist, Rowen, violinist, and Jesse, guitarist, at age 20, the lads are pushing boundaries and reinvigorating timeless traditional music for the 21st century.
By both French and English audiences, the trio is humbled by the huge reaction they have received towards their music. They just as easily connect with the indie music crowd as they do with the traditionalist and notably, their fan base carries no age barrier, including children to seniors and those in between. The group, who are as happy at a local Irish session or fiddle camp as they are on a main stage, are very excited about the future and their music. The spirit of the tradition is in good hands with Ten Strings And A Goat Skin. You can find our more about them at: www.tenstringsandagoatstring.com.
Prince Edward Island music is often overlooked. It’s a small region of Canada, but boasts a huge spirit. Traditional music is very much alive there, and great bands such as Ten Strings And A Goat Skin and Vishten have toured through Vermont to share their music. Both are internationally recognized for their high quality performances. Chandler is proud to be a part of this cultural exchange.
This concert is presented by Chandler Center for the Arts, and sponsored by The Point radio, and VPR. Chandler Music Hall is fully accessible and equipped for the hearing impaired.
