SUMMARY:Rakish + Nate Sabat: A Guest Artist Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Petrie School of Music’s Guest Artist Series presents Rakish + Nate Sabat in Concert. \nIn addition to their concert\, Rakish and Nate Sabat will also be giving a masterclass on Saturday\, October 12\, 2024\, from 10-12 PM in Daniel Recital Hall. \nAll are welcome to attend free of charge. \nAbout Rakish: \nViolinist Maura Shawn Scanlin and guitarist Conor Hearn unite to form “Rakish.” The pair gets their namesake from the traditional Irish tune Rakish Paddy\, an origin that aptly suits the duo and their shared background in traditional Irish and Scottish music. Yet “rakish” itself also suggests something strikingly unconventional in its appearance\, and Maura and Conor knowingly embrace this wealth of connotation in their music\, drawing on the music they grew up with and performing it with their own slant. In a performance that toes the line between concert music and session music\, Rakish explores tunes and songs from Irish and American folk traditions in a way that reflects their shared interest in and love for old traditional tunes and chamber music. Maura Shawn\, a two-time U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and a winner of the Glenfiddich Fiddle Competition\, wields the technical range of a classical violinist and the deep sensitivity of a traditional musician. Conor\, a native to the Irish music communities of Washington\, D.C. and Baltimore\, MD\, makes his home in Boston\, MA playing and teaching guitar. As a duo they have performed at venues and festivals across North America\, and can be found teaching at fiddle camps across the country. \nAbout Nate Sabat: \nNate Sabat is an award-winning bassist\, singer-songwriter and arranger based in Brooklyn\, NY. Nate has written and arranged music for NPR’s Radiolab\, the Young People’s Chorus of New York City and the Heifetz International Music Institute. Additionally\, a number of his songs are in rotation on Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction channel. He has performed on stages throughout Europe\, Japan\, New Zealand\, Australia\, Canada and the United States\, at festivals and venues including Celtic Connections\, Savannah Music Festival\, The Caverns and Carnegie Hall. In April 2024 Nate released Bass Fiddler\, the debut full-length project under his own name\, produced by the legendary Bruce Molsky. \nWith upright bass as his sole tool for accompaniment\, Nate crafts wildly intricate arrangements\, each one inextricably tied to its song. His playing — while rooted in American folk music — goes far beyond any preconceived notions of the instrument’s role within the genre. With a relaxed\, vocal sound and equal fluency with pizzicato and the bow\, Nate takes full advantage of the never-ending variety of sounds and textures the bass has to offer. GRAMMY-winning cellist Eugene Friesen says\, “Nate has so much going for him: The ability to propel any groove with chops and subtlety\, a sweet bow sound that can vocalize any melody\, fiercely great intonation\, and\, most importantly\, a musical intelligence and intuition that operates with a constant smile.” \nCheck out Nate’s “The Sun Will Rise.” \nCheck out Rakish’s Live Show Trailer:
