William Chapman Nyaho brings a unique cultural background and an extraordinary eclectic sense of music to the concert hall, propelling an evening of his music to, as one critic put it, "reach great heights."

His teaching experience and great sensitivity make the master classes, lectures and school activities highlights of his residencies that almost rival his exciting performances.


CRAICMORE

Thursday November 13, 2008 - 7:30 pm

Gallo Center for the Arts

Mary Stuart Rogers Theater

With deep roots in the music of Scotland and Ireland, CRAICMORE features acclaimed contralto Nancy Johnston.  Driving rhythms from guitar, bass, Bohdran drum, conga and other percussion, along with high-spirited whistles, flutes and bagpipes, powerfully render jigs & reels.

Four-part harmony, rhythmic hardshoe dancing, an East Indian Shruti Box and rumbling Didjeridoo all accent CRAICMORE's fiery performances.  Heard on the CBS Primetime hits Without a Trace, How I Met Your Mother and NBC Daytime Drama Days of our Lives.  Don't miss the chance to experience the excitement, the humor and the sheer joy of this music.
