Edmonds Author & Speaker Series presents
“Alpine Vibes” – Callings and Echoes of the Alps


MAY 16, 2024 at 6:30pm.
Cost is $7.50 per person
Walk-ins welcome
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP
Join us for a Performance-Book-Talk on Swiss Alphorn Music with Author and Translator.
A simple musical instrument of the Alpine shepherds, the alphorn became a source of fascination for travelers in the 19th century. As a result, it became a symbol of musical tradition in Switzerland. Thanks to its soothing sound and the unique visual appearance of the instrument, alphorn music is enjoying growing popularity, interestingly also in the Seattle region. We demonstrate historical and new alphorn music and get to the bottom of questions such as: What music can be played on a wind instrument that has no valves, finger holes or keys? What function does the alphorn have in the rituals, customs and traditions of the Alpine region? How is its musical history connected to the natural environment of the Alpine region and to the purely vocal call of the Swiss yodel? The themes will be richly illustrated with live music from four centuries.
