Exeter Concert - New England Fiddle Ensemble Community Orchestra
Exeter Concert - New England Fiddle Ensemble Community Orchestra
Join us for a heartwarming, high-energy musical performance from community musicians playing a rich mix of acoustic instruments!
Attendees will hear songs of different genres, including CELTIC, SWING, BLUEGRASS, FOLK, BLUES, COUNTRY AND CAJUN music. They can expect moments that are as moving as they are memorable: a talented family of eight singing and soloing on a bluegrass favorite; an 86-year-old fiddler tearing into a Canadian fiddle tune; a teenager belting out Side by Side; and the shimmering beauty of a harp on Hector the Hero. Community musicians are supported by professional players coming together to deliver a performance that’s heartwarming, high-energy, and full of joy—with just the right dose of humor. This is more than a concert. It’s a celebration of music, connection, and the magic that happens when a community plays together. The New England Fiddle Ensemble draws players from across the region and from every walk of life. A nonprofit organization, the New England Fiddle Ensemble’s mission is simple and powerful: to bring community together through music. Rehearsals take place in eight locations across New Hampshire and Maine from November through April and then all groups unite for two large Ensemble rehearsals and six concerts. Music is taught entirely by ear, so you won’t find music stands on stage—just performers smiling, connecting with the audience, and communicating with one another through the music!
