11:45 am Fiddleheads - Fiddlers Hannah Crary, Maria Naumann and Mark Sustic
WHAT IS FIDDLEHEADS? Started in the early winter of 2003, Fiddleheads is a group of young people (as young as 5, as old as 19) interested in learning and performing traditional fiddle tunes associated in some way with northern Vermont. Fiddlers participate by learning a variety of fiddle tunes, played mostly in a group format. The tunes highlight the Yankee, French, Irish, Scottish and other cultural heritages, mostly associated with northern Vermont, New England and New York, as well as influences from outside the state. Participants learn to value the contributions of these cultures, to use traditional music to celebrate the contributions of different cultural groups, and when possible, to learn directly from representatives of those cultures.
12:15 pm Bosnian Lillies Dance Group and Instrumental Band
The Bosnian Lilies was established in April of 2001, as a folk-dance group for children from Bosnia and Herzegovina who now reside in Burlington area. The goal of the group is to bring all children and their parents to their cultural roots and tradition. The past three years the Bosnian Lilies have been supported by the Vermont Folklife Center's Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program. Within the dancers an instrumental band was created with support of Mark Sustic. Some mothers joined the dancers. Mothers and the band will perform for the first time for the UVM International Women's Day.
