George Wilson and Selma Kaplan from Albany is the featured band for the Contradance with some Squares from 4 to 7 p.m. on Dec. 21 at Tioga Trails Caf\u00e9, Owego. George, fiddler extraordinaire, and keyboard virtuoso, Selma, bring dynamic, high energy, music to the contradance scene.<\/p>\n

George\u2019s lifelong career in dance music started as a youth playing bass in a rock band. He moved on to become an often sought after fiddler for such groups as Fennigs All-Stars, Whippersnappers, and Spare Parts. His over 500 tune repertoire, displaying his wide variety of traditional and folk styles, including tunes from New England, Quebec, Cape Breton, Scotland, Ireland and Shetland, shows the strong influences of Cape Breton and French Canadian sources. Accents and ornaments characterize his rhythmic and bouncy style. When George picks up his fiddle, it\u2019s hard to keep your toes from tapping and your feet from dancing. He has put out three CD\u2019s: Northern Melodies, Royal Circus, and A Collection of Northern Tunes. George is in demand wherever the best dance music is desired.<\/p>\n

David Smukler from Syracuse will be teaching and calling contradances to the music of George Wilson and Selma Kaplan. Contradancing, like square dancing, is done to a walking step and is easy to learn. Both beginners and experienced dancers alike happily share the same set. No partner is required.<\/p>\n

General admission is $7, students and seniors 55 and older is $5, the family maximum is $15. For information, call Stu at (607) 687-4034 or April at (607) 687-7195.<\/p>\n

This program is made possible, in part, with public funds from the NYSCA\u2019s Decentralization Program administered regionally by The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
