About the Show
Carried Away:
Pipe Dreams and Fiddle Fables
I've been carried away by music and stories all my life: from the first wild tales my grandfather told me, to the dream-faceted gems contained in old ballads….from the resonant power of a trance dance melody coaxed from a middle eastern bagpipe, to the siren sigh of horsehair bow across an eager fiddle string.
I experience stories and music as the links between the inner and outer realms—and as the bones, blood and sinew of the imagination. They are truer than truth because they give our experience of the world its structure and form. Imagination is the home territory of the human spirit. Its body is story; its blood is music.
We live and dream and create through story. And for me the proper soundtrack consists of raw, rooted tunes played on old wooden instruments.
Carried Away….
is an evening of story and music from a gifted purveyor of both. It is tales that are true, re-imagined, and retold from deep roots, with music played on fiddles and bagpipes from many lands.

The World Beat Festival Story
One February evening in 1997, two moms with young daughters set out to form a positive response to incidents of racism and intolerance in Salem, Oregon. On rolls of poster paper stretched across a dining room wall, they mapped out a celebration of cultural diversity. The World Beat Festival, celebrating its 15th anniversary this June 30-July 1 is a true story of community action. The Salem Multicultural Institute, the nonprofit that they formed to operate the festival, has since flourished. It operates programs all year long with a small staff and more than 400 volunteers.

Every December, California Revels produces, “The Christmas Revels,” a joyous production welcoming the return of the light back from the darkness of winter. Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer, California Revels late Founder, claimed that many people celebrate the Solstice without realizing it. Decorating homes with lights for midwinter, for example, is an ancient ritual for “calling back the light” that predates Christmas by centuries. “The Winter Solstice falls on the shortest day and brings on the longest night of the year. Across the centuries, people have chosen this time to acknowledge and celebrate the cycle of light and darkness, good and evil, life and death, that governs all our lives.”
THIS YEAR THE THEME IS IRELAND IN 1905 - WITH BRITISH TRADITIONS WELL REPRESENTED TOO.
