NOT JUST FOR BOOKS … Kevin Burke will perform Celtic fi ddle in Long Beach, Washington. Celtic fi ddler Burke on tap LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Pen- insula Arts Center presents Celtic fi ddler Kevin Burke. The show begins at 7 p.m. Saturday at 504 Pacifi c Ave. N. The con- cert is $15. Burke’s fi ddle playing has been at the forefront of traditional music for over 30 years. Whether solo or accompanied, on record or in concert, Burke is an engag- ing performer. His contributions have been acknowl- edged by a National Heritage Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts and Ireland’s Gradam Ceoil award, both acknowledging him as a master of the tradition. Although he has spent much of his life playing in a group context, he has never lost his love for solo fi ddle music — the “naked fi ddle” as he himself sometimes puts it. This is very evident in his live solo concerts.

Perspicuity is Joanne Ride- out and Jerry Middaugh. The duo performs vocal and guitar arrangements of traditional folk songs and contemporary songs related to traditional music. Some selections are of Appalachian origin, some Irish. Some are from the folk music movement of the 1960s and 1970s, drawn from Folkways records, Van- guard records, Riverside records, Stimson records (now Smithso- nian Folkways) and music heard at festivals and coffeehouse concerts. Rideout has been a singer most of her life. She learned harmony singing from her mother. Mid- daugh – also a lifelong singer – plays guitar (and banjo occa- sionally) with Rideout. He’s been active in folk music groups since the early 1960s. Middaugh hosts Coast Community Radio’s Wednesday Morning Folk Music show on alternate weeks.

Dr. Ray Utterback, organist, will lead the program, playing works by well- known and lesser-known composers from each century. The church’s Estey pipe organ is itself over a century old and has obtained improvements and additions during that time. The earliest work in the concert is by Hans Buchner, a Germanic organist in the days of the Reformation, around 1540, and the most recent work, from the 21st century, is by the distinguished musician David Gell of Santa Barbara, California, recently deceased. As might well be expected for a con- cert primarily of organ music, works of Johann Sebastian Bach will be included. The church’s resident organ- ist, Vincent Centeno, and soprano Ber- enice Jones-Centeno are participating in the concert, representing composers of the18th and the 19th centuries.
