Winter Village Music Presents
Emily Miller & Jesse Milnes
Hildaland (Louise Bichan & Ethan Setiawan)
Winter Village Opening Concert
Thursday, January 9, 2025
7:30 - 9:30 pm
Winter Village’s Opening Concert kicks of the weekend by featuring two of our camp faculty duo’s - Emily Miller & Jesse Milnes and Hildaland (Louise Bichan & Ethan Setiawan).
Emily & Jesse perform country and old-time music, singing close harmony with Jesse's unique finger-picked guitar style and a healthy dose of old-time fiddling. They make their home in central West Virginia where they often play for square dances. They love teaching harmony singing, often with Emily's mother Val Mindel, who taught and performed at Winter Village 2024.
Hildaland, featuring Louise Bichan & Ethan Setiawan, is a collaboration and meeting of musical worlds, steeped in the fiddle traditions of their respective sides of the Atlantic. The journey taken wends through Scottish, oldtime, and Swedish inspired music intertwined with contemporary compositions. Bichan’s fiddle is a melodic foil to Setiawan’s counterpoint and harmonic depth, and the two weave in and out seamlessly.
Opening concert tickets are NOT included in your weekend registration fee. Tickets cost $20 in advance (plus Eventbrite fees) and $25 at the door.

Winter Village Closing Concert
Sunday, January 12, 2025
4:00 - 6:00 pm
This year we will bring the weekend to a close with a concert featuring more camp faculty duos - The Clements Brothers and Natalie Padilla & Quinn Bachand.
The Clements Brothers are George and Charles Clements, identical twins from New England. They’ve been playing and writing music together for as long as they can remember and ‘The Clements Brothers’ marks their first project together since playing in the internationally touring grass-roots band, ‘The Lonely Heartstring Band’ with whom they put out two albums on Rounder Records. With roots, rock, bluegrass, jazz, and classical influences, George (on guitar) and Charles (on bass) aim to capture their singer-songwriter sensibilities in a unique blended voice. The music is a fusion of each brother's unique musical journey, filled with vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and a genuine love of song.
Natalie & Quinn are both talented multi-genre multi-instrumentalists, born to musical families. They met in 2018 at the Montana Fiddle Camp and enjoy collaborating in the studio and on stage whenever they get the chance. Quinn’s innovative accompanying style blends effortlessly with Natalie’s original compositions, creating music that captures the ears of studied musicians while remaining accessible to all. Their album Montana Wildflower has been favorably reviewed along with Natalie’s recent single that Quinn produced, Going Going Gone. Their performances feature a delightfully diverse set of fiddle tunes, Quebeqois tremolo harmonica, clawhammer banjo, songs and even a bit of swing!
Closing concert tickets are NOT included in your weekend registration fee. Tickets cost $20 in advance (plus Eventbrite fees) and $25 at the door.
