Join Fiddle-icious, a non-profit, all volunteer community orchestra with members from Kittery to Augusta, as they take to the stage to share their uplifting music. Fiddle-icious is a large and vibrant group of Maine musicians playing fiddle, piano, harp, guitar, banjo, accordion, cello, tin whistle, concertina and upright bass. Their tunes are passed on from the Irish, Scottish, Quebecois and Acadian traditions and include reels, jigs, marches, hornpipes, waltzes, step-dancing and singing.

Maine is bursting with talent and for their 15th season Fiddle-icious is proud to share the stage with Robert Sylvain. Rob heads a band called Sylvain’s Acadian Aces, singing songs in French and breathing new life into tunes that are timeless. Back by popular demand, Claude Bonang joins the orchestra for his second season, displaying a prowess on a classic instrument known as the bones, as well as many other unusual instruments. Claude who is 87 years young, truly embodies the Fiddle-icious spirit, as he began learning about his various instruments once he retired from teaching, proving that music is for us all. Rounding out our impressive listing of special guests is sibling act, Rossby, Elsie, and Oliver Arnott. Although they are young, their musical presence belies their age.
