The Oakville Celtic Fiddle Orchestra is
an Academy of Music program created to bring like minded musicians together to
play, and perform music in the Celtic tradition. The focus is on Scottish,
Irish, and Cape Breton tunes.
Under the direction of James Franczek we
play several sets of tunes and can be seen playing concerts at various times of
the year ( Spring concert, Celtic Festivals, etc ). We are open to violinists,
fiddlers, guitar players, flute players, and Bodhran (Celtic drum) players,
(other instruments are also welcome)
The orchestra is open to anyone 12
years and up that have been playing for couple of years or
more.
"The chief joy of my high school days was playing in our string orchestra, a
pleasure I didn't think I could ever rediscover. Now, 39 years later, after
some excellent lessons with James, I am again making music with a lively group
of people who are fun and supportive ." - Annemarie Toth-Waddell,
