On April 26th at Scarborough Museum, the City of Toronto held the first Métis fiddle concert in a series of four, featuring the music from accomplished Métis fiddler Alicia Blore, accompanied by Jacob Wanuch on guitar and Megan Southwell leading the jigging lesson. TYRMC Senator Paul Irvine spoke about the history and development of Métis fiddle music.

It was a beautiful, sunny day – perfect for an outdoor concert and jigging. The event was a lot of fun, with all ages attending.
