On Friday, January 17 at 8 p.m., the Princeton Folk Music Society presents an evening of virtuosic violin music with multistyle violinist and champion fiddler Mari Black. The concert is at Christ Congregation Church, 50 Walnut Lane.
Black is known as a master of diverse musical styles and winner of several major international competitions, playing global dance music: Celtic, American, and Canadian fiddling; jazz, tango, and klezmer tunes; original works; and more. A guitarist and a bass player round out Black’s trio.
Raised on a rich blend of traditional musical styles, Black became Scotland’s Glenfiddich Fiddle Champion, two-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, and two-time Canadian Maritime Fiddle Champion, all within a three-year period. She has since appeared as a featured artist at performing arts centers, Celtic festivals, Scottish Highland Games, folk venues, world music concerts, and classical venues.
Tickets are $25 ($20 for members, $10 for students). Visit princetonfolk.org.
