about
Founded in 2007, Ensemble Toss the Feathers (Dimitri Boekhoorn, early harps, whistle & flute; Tina Chancey, viol & renaissance fiddle; Valerie Loomer, theorbo, cittern, renaissance guitar & podorhythmie) plays Irish music from the original 17th and 18th c. sources on instruments the composers knew; a fusion of roots music and early instruments that acts as your passport back to the birthplace of Irish music. The group performed together for eight years, recorded two CDs (Feileacan (Butterfly) and Rira), and went on hiatus in 2015. In the summer of 2023, Dimitri and Tina reunited for a 22-concert tour of France and Switzerland.
