In normal times the Vermont Fiddle Orchestra plays two formal concerts each year in early winter and early spring. However, due to covid, the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 sessions continued virtually via Zoom, learning and rehearsing weekly.
New tunes introduced in upcoming seasons will be posted below roughly in the order they are taught. Music Director Peter Macfarlane also posts audio and sheet music here for the tunes he teaches.

Your donation will help keep this website growing and advertising-free.Background: I started this site about six years ago largely for my own convenience, but it quickly grew to be useful for a number of other musicians in my area. Since then it has grown far beyond my original vision, with over 850 tunes posted and around 3500 user sessions per month from over 30 countries. Until now I have built and maintained the site out of my own pocket but its increasing size and complexity is requiring more outside resources and costs; hence this appeal. So if this site is helpful to you, please consider a small contribution.
