Classes: Fiddle SLOW – Laura and Hanneke
Events: Beyoncé Workout – Hanneke, Opening Night Concert
Hanneke Cassel’s approach to music is aptly expressed in the title of her debut album, “My Joy.” Alasdair Fraser characterized the album as “…fiddle music played with great stylistic integrity and personal flair…” Hanneke’s second album, “Some Melodious Sonnet,” released in 2004, contains a variety of her own compositions, some hauntingly melodic, others exuberantly energetic. Hanneke has immersed herself in the music of Scotland and Cape Breton for many years and has won three U.S. National Scottish Fiddling championships. She is a graduate of the Berklee School of Music.
