Jacqueline Schwab & Reimar Seidler as New Rigged Ship

Scotland and the Shetlands have provided an unending source of musical inspiration to generations of folk musicians. The ground-breaking duo New Rigged Ship, with Jacqueline Schwab on piano and Reinmar Seidler on cello are taking Scottish music in all new directions, flexibly swapping roles as solo voice and accompaniment. Jacqueline has been heard on eleven of Ken Burns PBS documentaries, including The Civil War, Baseball, and Mark Twain. Reinmar Seidler, who has recorded alongside Jay Ungar, Matt Glaser and Jacqueline Schwab for three of Ken Burns' shows, is at the forefront of a new generation of string players who delight in a wide variety of playing styles. Critics have called Seidler A player of flamboyant technique and substantial personality (Boston Globe). The Globe said of New Rigged Ship, Their sound exists where art, music and tradition intermingle; their treatments of Scottish fiddle tunes are both elegant and complex, emotionally raw-boned and rippling with compositional intelligence.
