SUMMARY:Ed Pearlman\, Fiddle and Neil Pearlman\, Piano | Noonday Concert
  Series
DESCRIPTION:Fiddle music is fascinating because it is essentially local 
 music from around the world and therefore encompasses a huge diversity o
 f styles and musical approaches. It’s used for listening and dancing\,
  and ranges from simple beauty to complex expression.\n\nToday Ed and Ne
 il will perform tunes rooted in the Scottish musical tradition\, but com
 posed by themselves and their family. The family has performed under the
  name Highland Soles\, as they include both dance and music.\n\nThe musi
 c you’ll hear is comprised generally of medleys. Individual tunes are 
 connected in arrangements to create longer pieces for listening. The fid
 dle mainly plays the melody but with rhythmic and expressive variation\,
  while the piano improvises supportive rhythmic and harmonic ideas\, and
  sometimes carries the melody.\n\nEd and Neil Pearlman have toured toget
 her for many years throughout the US\, and in Canada and Scotland. Theyâ
 €™ve made 3 recordings together\, and recently published a tunebook of t
 heir tunes\, The Pine Street Collection.\n\nEd Pearlman draws on 40 year
 s of playing for concerts\, dances\, classes &amp\; ceilidhs\, and makin
 g 4 albums\, as well as teaching\, promoting and writing about Scottish 
 music. He has taught fiddle to ensembles and individuals aged 8-88\, at 
 the Portland Conservatory of Music since 2003. Ed ran the Boston Scottis
 h Fiddle Club and its associated events 1981-1999\, as well as many othe
 r camps and groups\, served as music columnist for Scottish Life magazin
 e for 24 years (his book compiling these writings is available from Amaz
 on)\, founded and runs fiddle-online.com\, and co-leads summer music &am
 p\; walking tours in Scotland.\n\nNeil Pearlman is internationally known
  as an innovative pianist\, immersed in the music of Scotland and Cape B
 reton. His unique style is enhanced in organic and thrilling ways by his
  deep knowledge of jazz\, funk and other styles. He is also a mandolinis
 t and stepdancer. Neil has performed solo\, and has toured and recorded 
 with the well-known Shetland fiddler Kevin Henderson\, the Katie McNally
  Trio\, Alba’s Edge\, Party of Three\, and the quartet Fàrsan. His po
 dcast/record label TradCafe comprises over 60 interviews and duos with t
 op traditional musicians and now features regular recordings by Neil\, b
 oth solo and with guests.\n\nSUPPORT NOONDAY\n\nThe Noonday Concert Seri
