Simple Gifts Concert
105 Locust Street
East Berlin, PA
The community is invited to hear the duo Simple Gifts perform.
Hear Linda Littleton and Karen Hirshon play a variety of ethnic and folk music on an array of instruments, including everything from lively Irish jigs and down-home American reels to hard-driving Klezmer freilachs, haunting Gypsy melodies, and exotic Balkan dance tunes.
Combining tradition with innovation, Simple Gifts creates some of the finest arrangements in folk music today: swing fiddle creeps into a Romanian dance, spoons show up in an Irish reel, and a blues lick introduces a Klezmer melody.
Based in the hills of central Pennsylvania, these women play an amazing array of instruments.
This program is supported in part by the Adams County Arts Council’s STAR GRANT PROGRAM which is funded by the ADAMS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, THE BOROUGH OF GETTYSBURG, and the ROBERT C. HOFFMAN CHARITABLE ENDOWMENT TRUST.
