the scottish fiddle orchestra
15th May 2010
The Alhambra Theatre present;
The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra. Saturday 15th May 2010. 7:30pm.
Compered by The Beechgrove Garden's Jim McColl! 
The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra is one of Scotland's foremost traditional music organisations. The Orchestra was formed in 1980, deriving its origins from Fiddlers’ Rallies which were – and are – held throughout the country. After one of these Rallies, a group of enthusiasts met to consider the formation of an orchestra which would draw its members from a’ the airts and would form a cohesive, vigorously rehearsed group of musicians.
The aim was to have a group of approximately 150 keen and interested musicians who would play together consistently, provide a series of concerts in the main Scottish cities and work together to create the finest possible standard of orchestral fiddle playing without detracting from the strong traditional strains of our music.
The unique arrangements of traditional items, mixed with John Mason's remarkable compositions, are performed by an orchestra of fiddles, flutes, cellos, basses, accordions, piano and pipes.
Jigs, reels, strathspeys, marches, songs and other dance music will keep your feet tapping and have you singing in your seats, as The Scottish Fiddle Orchestra bring their remarkable show to Dunfermline for the first time.
