Métis Fiddler Quartet Blueberry Hill
The Métis Fiddler Quartet is a performing arts group that specializes in performing and interpreting Canadian Métis and Native old-style fiddle music. This bilingual French/English group continues to discover and present the old-style fiddle tunes passed down by elders from across Canada. The Métis Fiddler Quartet recognizes the importance of sharing and collaborating with this unique style of fiddle music in order to pass the traditions on to future generations.
The group’s mandate is to expose audiences to the unique diversity of Canadian Métis and Native fiddle and to educate through participation. This is accomplished by means of musical performances, educational presentations, and interactive workshops for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal audiences. There is a genuine need for this music to be shared amongst people of all ages and communities, in order to build interest and to generate further involvement in Canadian Aboriginal music traditions.
