Performances

A journey through joyous jigs, tear-jerking laments and high octane reels!  

About:

As luck would have it, when Amanda moved to California she moved in across the street from a phenomenal violinist, Charmian Stewart.  When the two met they quickly realized that they had a shared interest in obscure folk music.  They soon began arranging tunes and have now been performing together as the Forget Me Knots  for over 11 years.  

While they play a wide range of music, everything from classical pieces to pop songs, they specialize in performing Celtic and Scandinavian music.  With their classical training, progressive string techniques, and folk music experience, they perform a wide variety of tunes in an authentic and fresh way.  Most of their arrangements are for violin and cello, but they have recently begun to arrange music for nyckelharpa and scordatura violin, and the combination of these instruments produces a unique sound rich in overtones and harmonies.  

They are available for parties, weddings, church services, concerts, fundraisers and private events.
