Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra

Musical Director: Anna Bowen

Transcriptions & arrangements: Mike Moroney, Sean Manning, Stephanie Hobbs

The Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra was established in 2013, convened by Anna Bowen and Mike Moroney. In addition to 15-plus fiddle-players, we currently boast cello, harp, piano, accordion, concertina, flute, irish bouzouki, double bass and guitar, Although playing by ear and from memory is encouraged, most players are readers and use written music in the first instance. Pdf files of the tunes we play are available under Resources.

The Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra meets Wednesdays, 7:30 - 9pm, at the North East Valley Community Rooms (next to the NEV Primary School on North Rd.). Players of all levels welcome. Attendance fee is a gold coin covering overheads, with any residue subsidising occasional workshops from visiting musicians.

Follow us on Facebook too.

The Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra makes public appearances for community events and the like, and for concerts and dances. Core players are occasionally recruited to the Dunedin Ceilidh Orchestra (complete with dance caller) for barndances and ceilidhs. To book the Dunedin Scottish Fiddle Orchestra or the Dunedin Ceilidh Orchestra, email Mike Moroney.
