The Blue Café series of free performances in Camden Opera House’s intimate third floor listening room presents Hildaland on Wednesday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m.  Hildaland is a contemporary duo blending Scottish and American traditional music, treating geographic borders as points of exploration rather than limitation.

Fiddle player Louise Bichan of Orkney, Scotland, and mandolinist Ethan Setiawan of Goshen, Indiana, met at Berklee College of Music. Since then they've forged a sound that moves from traditional Scottish roots through progressive bluegrass and jazz, inspired by place and journey. Both are highly acclaimed musicians: Setiawan is is a National Mandolin Champion who has performed with artists such as Darrell Scott and Julian Lage, and Bichan is an award-winning fiddler heard on the BBC and at major festivals.

Based in New England, but closely connected to the Glasgow music scene, Hildaland has developed a distinctive, innovative, and expressive voice that transcends both physical and musical boundaries.

Seating is limited at The Blue Café; doors at 29 Elm St. open at 7 p.m. Free admission, all welcome. Donations to the Community Arts Fund welcomed. For more information, call 207-236-7963.
