Since March 2020, Medford musicians Matt and Shannon Heaton have gathered with Irish musicians on YouTube every Saturday to share moderately paced tunes and lively conversation in Virtual Guided Sessions. This weekend, they are presenting two live online concerts called the VGS Retreat.

Tonight’s Duos Concert will feature performers from the U.S., Japan, Malaysia and Korea: Nathan Gourley and Laura Fedderson (fiddles, guitar), Faliq Auri and Sher Ly (flute, pipes, concertina), Hatao and Nami (Tomoaki Hatakeyama and Nami Uehara, flute and harp), Soomee Han and Yoonjeong Nam (harp and bodhran), and Matt and Shannon Heaton (flute and guitar).

Tickets are $25 and may be purchased through the event webpage: https://shannonheatonmusic.com/vgsretreat/

The second VGS Retreat performance will be a Flutes Concert at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 13.
