Chivalrous Crickets
the
chivalrous crickets
Creating at the intersection of traditional English, Celtic, and American folk,
and early (Baroque) European art music.
The band's members, who all sing, play, arrange and compose, come from backgrounds of folk and classical music. Their skills and interests combine to form a unique sound centered on full, rich vocal harmonies, diverse timbral blends of (up to 20 different) modern and historical instruments, exuberant arrangements, and innovative programming of traditional, original, and historical music.
Formed in 2018, and based between eastern PA, central NJ, and NYC, the Crickets revel in playing sundry venues
from history museums to schooners and canal barges, Early Music concert series to Celtic folk festivals,
churches to barns, speakeasies to theaters.
Offering a varied array of performance options, from festival sets
to holiday concerts to narrative "concert-theater" works.

The cricket, as described in the Medieval Bestiary, is "an animal that loves to sing, forgetting all else".
We often find ourselves sitting around a table in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio for hours
working on arrangements, forgetting all else but the music and the friendship.
