GUEST FIDDLER & WORKSHOP

This year we are pleased to announce that our guest fiddler and workshop instructor will be Koryne (Fraser) MacDonald. Formally from St. Anne de Prescott in Eastern Ontario now living in Mabou Cape Breton. Koryne has been no stranger to the greater Glengarry music scene over the years and you can expect to hear some great Cape Breton fiddling with some tones of the Glengarry Scottish fiddle.  She will be accompanied by Iain MacQuarrie on piano.
