Artist Biography For Silverwood Quartet

The Silverwood Quartet Comes Full Circle In Their Exploration Of Celtic Music With The Release Of "A Celtic Mosaic". When The Group First Formed Over A Decade Ago Flutist/Celtic Harpist Andra Bohnet Brought In Some Arrangements For The Group To Play Of Music By Turloch O'Carolan The Famed Blind Harper 1670-1738 Whose Lilting Irish Melodies Have Survived And Are Beloved To This Day. It Was The First Time Anyone In The Quartet Had Heard Of O'Carolan Or Paid Much Attention To Irish Music In General But It Planted A Seed Of Interest That Took Root And Continues To Grow. The Intense Interest Of Andra And Silverwood Violinist Tom Morley In All Things Irish And Celtic Lead Them To Form A Spin-Off Group Mithril Which Has Become Firmly Established In The Genre. And Over The Years Silverwood Has Continued To Find Commission And Create Its Own Arrangements Developing A Rich Repertoire Of Irish And Celtic-Flavored Music. We're Pleased To Present Chamber Music Versions Of These Lovely Tunes - We Feel Certain That Many Of These Selections Have Never Before Been Played In A Quartet Setting. We Hope You Enjoy These Musical Bits And Pieces That Comprise Our Celtic Mosaic.
