The Calgary Fiddlers

It all started when...

...a classically trained violinist and fiddler from Saskatchewan, Dr. Norman Burgess, came to Calgary and wanted to create a musical revolution. In 1982, the Calgary Fiddlers were formed and have entertained audiences around the world with their unique blend of ensemble fiddling, youthful exuberance and amazing musicality. 

The Calgary Fiddlers are a musically gifted group of young people who love to perform and who appeal to audiences of all ages around the world. This exciting ensemble bursts on to stage to deliver high energy performances of a wide range of music from traditional folk fiddling to country, bluegrass, Celtic and even big band. Each fiddler has a rigorous training schedule that includes private and group coaching sessions on a weekly basis, in addition to performing at over 100 functions in and around the Calgary area each year, and touring internationally.
