Fiddlin'
in the Rain
Ever wonder what we
islanders do when we're NOT at the
Saturday Market? This video shows
a mass collaboration of students
and teachers at a recent
Fiddleworks camp. As part of a
Canada Arts Council Grant, Jaime
RT and staff led a group of over
100 novice fiddlers to compose a
new piece. This video shows the
process.
