Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome!

Jam 6:45 pm, Open Stage 7:30 pm, Feature Performers Moranz and Fremlin at 9 pm;
Norway House, 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door

A dynamic Canadiana and bluegrass duo, multi-instrumentalist Ryland
Moranz and mandolin aficionado Dan Fremlin are harbingers of a time on
the verge, evoking a simpler ethos of string and timber, joy and sorrow.

Ryland’s 2021 album ‘XO, 1945’ was nominated for the Canadian folk music
contemporary album of the year. In his spare time he also plays with
Leeroy Stagger, Barney Bentall, and John Wort Hannam. Dan is a
nationally recognized bluegrass mandolin player and songwriter who
performs as an integral member of the Blue Wranglers as well as Barney
Bentall’s Caribou Express. Together, Moranz and Fremlin champion the
love and spirit of a disappearing art!

Gabriola Island, BC

Join us for our third summer at the Gabriola String Retreat!

All ages and skill levels are welcome!

At the Gabriola String Retreat, you will have the opportunity to grow as a musician in a supportive, community-based environment. Strengthen your classical and alternative techniques through instruction in masterclass settings from world-class teachers and develop your ear by learning fiddle and folk tunes by ear.

Musicians will participate in both small and large ensembles to build reading, ensemble playing and communication skills. Our approach is rooted in encouragement and community, helping you build a strong, positive foundation in music-making.

When we’re not making music, we enjoy — community potlucks, swimming, dance parties, and local farmers’ markets.

💲 $400 per musician Family rates available.

📣 Space is limited—register early to reserve your spot!
