\nAin Haas<\/strong> was born in Sweden to Estonian parents.\u00a0 He now lives in Indianapolis, where here he leads Siilikesed<\/em><\/strong>, the Hedgehogs<\/a>, an Estonian and Latvian folk ensemble. In the concert, Ain will demonstrate a variety of plucked zithers (kannel<\/em> and kokle<\/em>), bowed lyres (hiiu kannel<\/em> and giga<\/em>), Estonian bagpipes (torupill<\/em>) and other ancient instruments. A jam session of Baltic polkas, waltzes, marches and airs will follow. Most tunes will be fairly easy to learn. Some recordings are posted below. Sheet music will be available.<\/p>\n

The evening will be a tribute to Andres Peekna<\/strong>, who, with Ain, led the Chicago-based Estonian folk ensemble, Tuuletargad<\/strong><\/em>, the Wind Wizards<\/a>. In the top photo, Andres is playing the small table-top kannel<\/em>.\u00a0 Andres, along with several members of Tuuletargad, appeared several times at the Midwest Fiddle Championship hosted by the Fiddle Club of the World. Here is a recording from the 2004 championship. Mary Allsopp is on fiddle. (Click the blue title to play.)
