Elke Baker and Liz Donaldson often perform together as the duo Terpsichore. In Greek mythology, Terpsichore was the goddess of dance; Elke and Liz are at their best playing the kind of music that makes you tap your feet as you listen.

Elke Baker, 1995 U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion, combines lyrical melodies with driving dance rhythms in her energetic fiddling. Elke plays Scottish, Celtic, and American fiddle music for concerts, festivals, dances, and parties across America and abroad. She teaches Scottish music and dance and directs the Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club.
