Our Stories: Arizona's Hidden Soundscape & the Wild West Fiddle Project
Join Dr. Kate Rose for a fun, all-ages, interactive performance that uncovers Arizona’s rich blended heritage through traditional folk music and dance. Featuring live fiddle music and storytelling, this experience reveals how pioneer musicians integrated their traditions with those of neighboring communities. Connection with the land shaped these emerging traditions, where Celtic melodies and Hispanic rhythms interweave seamlessly.
We will hear revived tunes showing how cultures converged to create a unique sound, reminding us to connect with the beauty of our state’s open skies, deep canyons, and vast forests.
Registration is not required.
