Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering; Everyone welcome jam 6:45pm,  Open Stage 7:30pm, Feature Performers B.C. Fiddle Orchestra at 9pm; Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door

Just over 30 years ago, the BC Fiddle Orchestra was formed with a group of talented and enthusiastic young violin players from Daniel Lapp's teaching studio in Victoria. The group was created in response to an offer for Daniel to 'put something together' for the Opening Ceremonies at the 1994 Commonwealth Games, and since that first performance in front of 60,000 people, the BCFO has gone on to play at countless events, festivals, and ceremonies throughout the province.

Scores of young fiddlers, many of whom are now at the cutting edge of the folk music industry around the world, learned the 'art of fiddling' during their apprenticeship in the orchestra, including Folk Club favourites Ivonne Hernandez, Ceilidh Briscoe, Q Bachand, and Sarah Tradewell. Continuing their tradition of "Teens Pushing the Boundaries of Folk Fiddling”, the BC Fiddle Orchestra features the ever up-and-coming, now including VFMS favourite Max Francis! Come prepared to be wowed!!
