STANLEY PARK SUNDAY NIGHT CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS “Sarah the Fiddler” ON JUNE 16TH

Sarah’s musical journey began at the age of 4 when she started violin lessons using the Suzuki Method. By the age of 6, she was introduced to fiddle music and began competing in fiddle contests all over New England. Her grandparents suggested having a signature look…so she was known as the girl with the little red hat. Eventually it was her playing that was being recognized as she won hundreds of competitions.

These contests and festivals instilled Sarah’s passion for old-time music as she learned and played alongside some of the best old-tymers. Even her fiddle was given to her by New England fiddler Willie “Uncle Willie” Lapman and carries a history of over 200 years of song.

The moment her bow touches the strings, Sarah’s passion for music is evident. Combining her influences of Old-Time, Irish, World and Classical music, Sarah takes her audiences on a musical journey from old-time sing-alongs to lively polkas and rousing reels.

Sarah currently performs with her husband Keith DaSilva on drums and Joe Dziok on piano and accordion. The influences of these three musicians makes for a high energy show loved by audiences of all ages.

This performance begins at 6:00 p.m. at the Beveridge Pavilion and it is free of charge. Chairs will be provided and a food service will be available.
