On Friday, April 17 at 8 p.m., the Princeton Folk Music Society presents the duo Simple Gifts at Christ Congregation Church, 50 Walnut Lane.

The two women play 10 instruments and draw on “a variety of ethnic folk styles — everything from lively Irish jigs and American reels to Klezmer freilachs and haunting Gypsy melodies, Balkan dance music, Scandinavian twin fiddling, and original compositions written in a traditional style.

Littleton and Hirson switch among fiddle, mandolin, banjo, recorders, bowed psaltery, hammered dulcimer, baritone fiddle, guitar, and percussion. Swing fiddle creeps into a Romanian dance, spoons show up in an Irish reel, and a traditional West Virginia tune is enhanced by a Turkish drum and Indian shruti box.
