Well folks, in case you haven't noticed, it's that time of year again…Vermont Fiddle Orchestra winter concert time that is. Oh, and by pure coincidence, the holiday season too.

On December 10 at 7:00, the Vermont Fiddle Orchestra will again fill the Barre Opera House with the happy strains of music from many walks of life, as arranged by Peter Macfarlane, our music director.

The VFO will be presenting a concert of traditional tunes, a lively mix of jigs from Ireland, Scotland and Canada, reels from Appalachia, Quebec and Scotland, a schottische and more from Sweden, a polka from Shetland, a hornpipe from who-knows-where, together with a few Scottish marches, some waltzes, and a heart-rending slow air. Pulsating rhythms and rich harmonies will stir feet and emotions alike.

This is a concert you should not miss. Admission is by voluntary donation and for those who have been previously, it will be yet another thoroughly enjoyable evening.

The VFO is a community orchestra of fiddlers, violists, cellists, bass players, mandolin players, guitarists, and flute/whistle players.
