Dick Hensold in Concert: Northumbrian Smallpipes and other Strange Beasts

"Dick Hensold is a master piper with an exquisite touch." –City Pages, Minneapolis, MN

Dick Hensold is the leading Northumbrian smallpiper in North America, and for the past 20 years has performed and taught in England, Scotland, Japan, Canada, and across the United States.

This engaging solo concert will feature Hensold on Northumbrian smallpipes (a quiet bagpipe from Northeast England), reel pipes (an indoor version of the Scottish Highland pipes intended for Scottish dance music), seljefløyte (Norwegian willow-flute), säckpipa (Swedish bagpipes), pibgorn (Welsh hornpipe), and several other instruments. He will play music in several traditional and historical styles, with particular emphasis on Cape Breton, early Scottish, and Northumbrian, but also including Scandinavian, Medieval, and original music. The program also includes a couple of songs, neither of them in English, and a limited amount of dancing while seated. Join us for a musical evening with one of America’s finest and most unusual traditional bagpipers.

While in Cleveland, Hensold will be a guest on both the "Around Noon" (Fri., April 12 at 12 noon) and "The Sounds of Britain and Ireland" (Sun., April 7 at 4 p.m.) programs on WCPN 90.3 FM, Cleveland's National Public Radio station.
