On Sunday, August 18, 2013 at 4:00 pm, the 15th Annual Calais Concert will be held at the Old West Church in Calais, Vermont. 

This year’s Calais concert will feature Anna Roberts-Gevalt, a Vermont native who moved south to immerse herself in Appalachian music, has apprenticed with the masters of the Kentucky fiddle tradition: Bruce Greene, John Harrod and Paul David Smith, as well as banjo players Lee Sexton and Earl Thomas. She was a fellowship recipient at Berea College to do research into the lives of female fiddlers in Kentucky, and is in the process of filming a documentary about the Kentucky Clodhoppers, a central Kentucky stringband. She recently produced a compilation album of young traditional musicians The New Young Fogies, with Joseph DeJarnette; has taught at fiddle camps throughout the southeast, and is currently faculty coordinator of the Cowan Music School, Kentucky’s only traditional music school.  

Pete Sutherland, Irish musician Eamon O'Leary, Vermont Symphony Orchestra cellist John Dunlop and violinist/fiddlers Laura Markowitz and Sofia Hirsch will round out the line-up for an afternoon of memorable music making.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury.
