Autumn Rose Lester & Eric Eid-Reiner Waltz/Dance Concert

BACDS Wednesday Waltz Concerts present:

Autumn Rose Lester and Eric Eid-Reiner are an energetic fiddle and piano duo from the Boston area. They play for contra dances, mostly waltz dances, and concerts in New England and around the U.S. Musically, they draw on the traditional and contemporary music of Ireland, New England, Scotland, Cape Breton, and beyond. For this dance concert, Eric and Autumn Rose will play mostly waltzes, as well as a couple other dance tunes!

Dancers and listening audiences alike have long enjoyed Eric’s innovative piano accompaniment, melody playing, and original compositions. Eric performs solo, as a member of The Moving Violations and The Reiner Family Band, and with fiddlers including Autumn Rose Lester, Audrey Knuth, Liz Faiella, Dave Langford, and David Kaynor. Eric’s CDs and tune book are for sale on his website, http://www.EricEid-Reiner.com, and his music is also sold on iTunes, Apple Music, and Amazon.

Autumn Rose is a versatile fiddler whose passion for traditional fiddle music is clear from the energy and infectious joy in her playing. She frequently performs with Eric Eid-Reiner, Everest Witman (of Nova), David Cantieni (of Wild Asparagus), Laurie Hart, Tim Ball, and many others.

Have you tried dancing on Zoom?
One of the BEST things is that it allows everyone to interact in their own way. You can "PIN" anyone's video and dance while looking at their video. Even better, you can arrange (via Chat) to PIN videos with a friend while dancing. The Best part is that you don't know when you're PIN'd and there's no limit, so it's totally inclusive. You can also dance at home, or enjoy watching all the dancing, or just listen and be transformed by the music.

We have 500 person capacity, so invite your friends, musicians, and anyone who would enjoy waltz music or dancing.

For your safety, if you want to dance at home:
Please clear a space, consider wearing shoes if you're used to dancing in shoes, stay hydrated, go easy if you haven't been dancing regularly.

****************************************************************
ZOOM TIPS:
* Please MUTE yourself unless you are talking during the chat times.
* If you have issues with internet, you can turn OFF your video and that might help.
* If there is a HUGE turnout, we may ask folks to turn off all video & mute so the music can be more clear.
* Video options (top R of PC screen): Speaker view (puts the musicians center screen) or Gallery view (lets you scroll through pages of participants).
* You can also "PIN" any video and it will stay centered. You can PIN anyone and they won't know, and any number can PIN the same person. You can also "CHAT" with a friend and PIN each other's videos to "dance together"
To PIN a video on a PC, hover over the video and click on the 3 dots in the corner. Select "PIN video".
You can also go to "Participants list" and find someone by name, then click on them and PIN should be an option.
* iOS and Android devices have different options. It may work on a phone to double tap the video you want to PIN.

We look forward to seeing you!
