The New England Fiddle Ensemble History
The New England Fiddle Ensemble, formed in the late 1990s, has roots embedded deeply in the rich traditions of American folk music, particularly that of New England. The organization was birthed from a passion for the lively sounds of fiddling, which is integral to the region's cultural heritage. Initially started by a group of dedicated musicians, the ensemble aimed to preserve and share the region’s traditional sounds, including Cape Breton, Irish, and contra dance music, which are emblematic of New England’s heritage. As the ensemble evolved, it became a polished group of talented musicians who not only played the traditional tunes but also incorporated original compositions and arrangements, reflecting both their historical influences and contemporary artistry. Over the years, the New England Fiddle Ensemble has performed at a plethora of community events, festivals, and educational workshops, fostering a love for folk music among audiences of all ages. Their commitment to education has led them to collaborate with schools and youth organizations, teaching the next generation about fiddling traditions, further solidifying their role in the cultural landscape.
