This unique orchestra started over 25 years ago, nurturing lasting friendships and up to three generations of musicians in some families. Growing in size and community support, the goal of the orchestra is to foster fiddle music traditions in the community by offering fun and affordable music instruction.
Usually, performances are made in Schools and Senior's Homes, Festivals, Churches, providing Christmas Concerts and entertainment at community fund raisers with fiddles, guitars, mandolins, violas, piano, cello, percussion and whistles. This offers a tremendous opportunity for people in the community to learn a musical instrument, read music, play and follow a conductor. These are transferable skills and a pro-social creative endeavour that enriches all areas of our individual and community life. The multi-generational aspect of the orchestra allows for friendships to develop based on a common love of music and community.
