Saturday, September 4, at 7:30 PM Looking back 20 years…. “Mac and Hutch” revive their high-spirited, 1990’s Irish band Northeast Winds with Irish ballads and rousing pub songs, sing-alongs, and hot-picking instrumentals on banjo, guitar, mandolin, concertina and bodran. Over 18 years “Mac” won SRGH hearts with his Old Time Radio Gang; “Hutch” with his Angel Band ‘s holiday concerts. The Saco River Grange Hall salutes these two veterans for their huge contributions to the Grange’s legacy of great musical talent. Their retrospective of rich Irish music has won high praise and is in great demand; please join us if you can.

Oni’s dazzling performance of the Impromptus and Fantasies at the Steinway last year won her celebrity status with an outpouring of demand for her return. This year’s program “Le Piano Francais” delves into the expansive artistry of French composers through three centuries from Couperin’s early Baroque, Foure’s romanticism and the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel.
“Oni is a species unto herself. Already a published poet…Her playing is informed by a persuasively lyrical touch in the service of great poise and charm.” Russell Sherman Distinguished Artists in Residence, New England Conservatory.
“Buchanon is a true artist, full of creativivity and unique interpretations. Her technique is meticulous, dazzling and powerful, and her spirit is gererous and alive.” Geoffery Peters, Director of University Hall Concert Series, Harvard University.
