Dance, Music, & Song Camps
Musician. Producer. Sound engineer. Event organizer. Charlie Pilzer is a busy man, always devoting himself to creating award-winning Scandinavian, Celtic, folk, and acoustic music and sharing his love of the traditions with audiences, listeners, and other musicians around the world.
Well known as a dance musician (piano and bass) for New England folk dances, Charlie also has had considerable involvement with Scandinavian music since 1978, when he met the Faroe Islands-based band Spælimenninir (“the folk musicians”) during their first U.S. tour and ended up joining the band. His album with Andrea Hoag and Loretta Kelley Hambo in the Snow was nominated for a 2007 GRAMMY Award as Best Traditional World Music Album.
When not performing, Charlie has had a notable career as a recording and mastering engineer. Charlie’s attention to detail is well known and is best exemplified in the audio restoration of vintage recordings. In addition to mastering a dozen GRAMMY-nominated projects, Charlie received a GRAMMY for mastering and restoration on the Anthology of American Folk Music (1997).
