Jamie Laval, with star soprano Amber Rose, will be presenting Evening of Celtic Music and Mythic Tales at The Burren, 247 Elm St, Somerville, on Sunday, September 11, at 3:30 p.m.

U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion Jamie Laval takes his audience on an exciting musical journey through Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany, evocatively reimagining Gaelic love songs, rustic peasant dances, and recounting mythic tales from the Celtic world.

Joining Jamie is vocalist Amber Rose, whose soaring, angelic voice evokes a fairytale-like quality in ancient airs and ballads. Celtic harpist Liv Castor rounds out the trio, complementing the ensemble with exciting rhythmic vitality and subtle harmonic nuance.

 “One of the hottest fiddlers out there” (Asheville Citizen-Times) and “The next Alasdair Fraser” (Scotland Press & Post), Jamie performed for Her Majesty the Queen, appeared on Dave Matthews’ platinum Some Devil album, and presented a TEDx Talk on the value of arts and music in our communities.

Murmurs and Drones, Laval’s third album, won the popular vote for “Best World Traditional Album” in the 2012 Independent Music Awards. In 2019 Jamie released his latest album, Celtic Christmas: Music for the Deep Midwinter to critical acclaim. Jamie is also a prolific composer, arranger, and recording engineer.

Amber Rose is a rising star on the vocal horizon. Amber was a recent finalist in the Metropolitan Opera’s Emerging Artist Competition. She received rave reviews for her performances with the 2022 Utah Festival Opera, including the famous Queen of the Night role. Since receiving her master’s degree in vocal performance at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, Amber has performed for the New Hampshire Piccola, Miami, and Greensboro opera companies.
