Laura
Risk (left) & Athena
Tergis are two young, phenomenally
gifted up-and-coming fiddle players. The
duo hail from San Francisco, but
the scope of their material and
musical influences range from Celtic
traditional to jazz. They
think of themselves as sisters,
having met 17 years ago in pre-school. In
1987, after winning the U.S. Junior
National Scottish Fiddling Championship,
Athena introduced Laura to Celtic
music and they have been playing
duets together ever since. Over
the years their repertoire has
expanded to include their own compositions.
Their debut album Journey
Begun was nominated for the
Album of the Year award in the
Bay area of California.
