Concert: The Knotwork Band

The Knotwork Band is a trio of musicians performing Celtic folk music, both traditional and modern. The band takes its name from Celtic knotwork, an art form particular to the ancient peoples of Ireland and Scotland where cords or lines are woven into intricate patterns and highly stylized designs. Like Celtic knotwork, the talents of the individual members are interwoven to form each piece of music.

The audience can expect to hear Celtic folk music from Ireland, Scotland, England, and Brittany, as well as American and World music with ties to Celtic folk music, either musically or historically. Their wide spectrum of musical styles ranges from beautiful waltzes to exciting jigs and reels. The band’s music ranges from slow and hauntingly beautiful melodies to faster-paced and energetic pieces which will get the toes tapping.

Our September concert will be a memorial concert in honor of William H. Sweger. Bill was a member of the Lititz Public Library’s Board of Trustees for 12 years and during that time held the offices of Secretary, Vice President and President. He joined the Board during the exciting years that led to the construction of the current library facility. Please join us for this memorial concert in his honor.
