Amarillis, featuring their new CD Waltzing in the Trees
AMARYLLIS (Noun): A gorgeous flower in the lily family (winter flowering in northern climes)

AMARILLIS (Noun): Three talented women who play dance music in a variety of styles: for New England contras, "historical" English dances, and waltzes and other couple dances.

FOR THE FIRST TIME ON CD:

Waltzing in the Trees
From tender waltzes to flowing celtic jigs to zesty Quebeçois contra dance tunes, the trio Amarillis plays dance tunes from the old and new worlds.

    From Bob McQuillen
    Gosh, that's beautiful music Amarillis has made: the choice of tunes is great and the arrangements are outstanding! Maro Avakian's piano playing is exquisite—so tasteful and melodious. I can't say enough nice things about this CD; it's one of the prettiest I have heard in a long time. I am so glad that Amarillis included my jig
    Boys of Antrim on it—it sure is in good company!
