On Sunday, January 16, the Orange Mighty Trio debuts “Not Too Distant,” a Cedar Cultural Center and Jerome Foundation commission. The concept is music for an imaginary video game…a thought experiment, if you will. The evening features guest drummer Peter Leggett and will also include performances of actual video game music, and rock tunes.

Hello fiddlers and friends of fiddle,
The Chicago Fiddle Camp will be returning for its second year this year, July 12-19 at the Chicago Waldorf School! Students will have the chance to immerse themselves in fiddle style, improvisation, back-up techniques, style points, and also create their own pieces in small groups. In my own study as a fiddler, it has been invaluable to soak up the feel, technique and, dare I say it, vibe, from accomplished musicians by learning from them in person at camps and clinics. We aim to provide similar inspiration and tools. The camp will concentrate a lot of energy on making music as a group, small or large. A week of community and collaboration it shall be, and as most musicians would probably agree, that is where the biggest musical rewards can be found. We are looking forward to it!
