A St. Patrick’s Luncheon featuring Sarah The Fiddler will be held on Thursday, March 19 at 12:00 p.m. at Stanton Hall, 26 Russell Road in Huntington.  Sarah’s musical journey began at the age of 4 when she started violin lessons using the Suzuki Method.  By the age of 6, she was introduced to fiddle music and began competing in fiddle contests all over New England.  Her grandparents suggested having a signature look….so she was known as the girl with the little red hat.  Eventually it was her playing that was being recognized as she won hundreds of competitions.  These contests and festivals instilled Sarah’s passion for old-time music as she learned and played alongside some of the best old-tymers.  Even her fiddle was given to her by New England fiddler Willie “Uncle Willie” Lapman and carries a history of over 200 years of song.  The moment her bow touches the strings, Sarah’s passion for music is evident.  Combining her influences of Old-Time, Irish, World and Classical music, Sarah takes her audiences on a musical journey from old-time sing-alongs, to lively polkas and rousing reels.

 

Corned beef and cabbage will be served.  Suggested donation per person is $8.  All ages welcome.  In case of snow, the event will be held on Friday, March 20.  Please call 413-512-5205 by Thursday, March 12 for reservations.  Coordinated by the Huntington Council on Aging.  This program is supported in part by a grant from the Huntington Cultural Council, a local agency which supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
