takes
the stage. Drawing on an impressive variety of ethnic folk styles,
this award-winning duo plays everything from Irish jigs and American reels
to Klezmer freilachs, Gypsy melodies Balkan dance music, Scandinavian twin
fiddling, and original compositions.

Combining tradition with innovation, Simple Gifts creates some of the
finest arrangements in folk music today: swing fiddle creeps into a
Romanian dance, spoons show up in an Irish reel, and a traditional West
Virginia tune is enhanced by a Turkish drum and Indian shruti box. Based in
the hills of central Pennsylvania, Linda and Karen switch with ease
among fiddle, mandolin, banjo, recorders, bowed psaltery, hammered
dulcimer, baritone fiddle, guitar, and percussion.
