The Vermont Fiddle Orchestra‘s Spring 2025 Concert tunes:
The VFO started preparing its Autumn 2024 program in September and presented its Winter Concert on December 7. Rehearsals for the Spring Concert will start up in early January and as Music Director Peter MacFarlane intoduces and teaches new tunes each week they will be posted here weekly. Until then, the Winter Concert tunes will remain below.
Note: An “Ear tune” is taught each week by Assistant Director Susan Reid, but without sheet music or ABC notation, as an exercise in learning tunes by ear, a valuable skill especially in jams.
