Jaron Freeman-Fox
Quadra's favorite violinist, Jaron Freeman-Fox, visits home for an evening of musical ramblings served with succulent desserts on Saturday, August 23 at the Quadra Community Centre.

Quadrites will remember Jaron as the young boy fiddler who became the charasmatic teacher of a youth fiddle group. Since leaving Quadra, and finishing music school in jazz violin, Jaron has performed throughout Canada and the States with a variety of groups, playing in his original style that combines folk, world, and jazz idioms.

Jaron's unique music now also incorporates elements from his recent studies of classical music in Southern India, as well as offers an honouring of the freestyle fiddle technique developed by his mentor, Oliver Schroer. This high-energy young man melds together traditions from around the world in a violin with many voices. Joined by long-time collaborator, Toronto percussionist Jake Jennes, Jaron brings his audience along on a fun-filled musical adventure.

Don't miss this one-night only event at the QCC. Doors open at 7:30. Tickets $10/person, $30/family.
