Since 1985, Wherligig has delighted and educated audiences in the US mid-Atlantic with the earthy sounds of acoustic Celtic and Nordic traditional music. This family music ensemble combines repertoire from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, and Sweden, and Wales in performances ranging from the concert stage to classrooms, festivals, and private gatherings.
The current lineup of this versatile ensemble features Ken, Ryan, and Stephanie Koons, and Niccolo Seligmann. Ken plays the six- and twelve-string guitar, tin whistles, bones, and hurdy gurdy. Ryan plays the fiddle, tin whistle, nyckelharpa, crwth, plucked and bowed psalteries, and sings. Stephanie on the hammered dulcimer, neo-Celtic harp, and harmonium. Niccolo plays the viola da gamba and bodhran (Irish frame drum). Wherligig’s love of traditional music and culture and their joy in making music together as a family add a distinguishing quality to their performances.
