CARTHAGE — New England Celtic Arts will host Canadian fiddle legend Sandy MacIntyre with special guest pianist Janine Randall Sunday, Aug. 30, at Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center.

Several Maine fiddlers will join the duo on stage for the 7 p.m. performance, the last in a series of four Sunday concerts in August. There will be a preshow jam at 6:15 p.m.

MacIntyre is one of today’s most prominent players and teachers of Cape Breton fiddling; he has also composed well over 100 tunes, many of which have become classics of the Cape Breton style.

MacIntyre performs and conducts workshops throughout the United States, Canada and abroad. He is a frequent staff member at the American Festival of Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, Wash., and at the Rocky Mountain Fiddle Camp in Estes Park, Colo. For the past 20 years, he has been an instructor of the fiddle program at the Gaelic College in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and he has performed for the last several years at Cape Breton’s famed Celtic Colours Festival. This year, Celtic Colours will honor MacIntyre for his lifetime of achievement. His most recent CD is “Steeped in Tradition.”

Randall is a first-generation American descended from the Camerons, MacNeils and Walkers of Mabou and Margaree Harbours along the western side of Cape Breton Island. Coming from a well-known musical family, she naturally gravitated toward music and, in 1995, founded and became director of the Ceilidh Trail School of Celtic Music in Inverness, Cape Breton Island.
An accomplished academic speaker, writer, piano teacher and promoter of Cape Breton culture, Randall has given presentations and workshops. She is also a regular accompanist at Cape Breton dances and concerts throughout the United States, Canada and Scotland.
