CARTHAGE — Ellie Buckland and her Berklee Buddies will give a concert of folk, bluegrass and Appalachian old-time fiddle styles on Sunday, April 1, kicking off a new Emerging Artists Series at Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center.

Buckland, a 2011 graduate of Mt. Blue High School, is in her second semester at Berklee College of Music, studying violin. She grew up in Farmington loving fiddling and singing, and was a member of the Franklin County Fiddlers and Mt. Blue Voices.

Skye Theatre — with a grant from Patriot Renewables and a partnership with the Kingfield POPS — will host the new series highlighting emerging artists. Featured will be regional, state and international artists with Celtic ties in the early stages of their development as musicians. All told, eight concerts are planned.

Performing with Buckland will be newfound friends from Berklee College of Music in Boston: Lukas Pool on banjo; Jack Devereux, fiddle and uilleann pipes; Maxwell Van Wie, mandolin; and Monica de Vitry, cello and vocals.

Pool,  current National Old-Time Banjo Champion, is in his final semester at Berklee. Devereux, an old-time fiddler hailing from Asheville, N.C., has played an integral role in the development of Berklee’s American Roots program. From upstate New York, Van Wie is a mandolin player. De Vitry, a former Berklee student now studying art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, is a singer and cellist.
