Coastline, a new string ensemble comprised of 15 of British Columbia�s top young musicians, performs at the Victoria Folk Music Society on November 24, 2013.

Coached and mentored by renowned fiddler Ivonne Hernandez, the band was formed this past January. With its 12 fiddles, 2 cellos, and 1 piano, Coastline plays a diverse and exciting mix of tunes from across Canada and from around the world.

Individually, the band members have won many awards and competitions, and together they are a force to be reckoned with. After being together for only a few months, the group won the Large Fiddle Ensemble Award at the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival. They have since gone on to perform at many other venues, including the Victoria International Highland Games and Celtic Festival.

Prepare to tap your toes and clap your hands to the sounds of Coastline!

Our feature act will be preceded by what is arguably Victoria�s best weekly acoustic Open Stage session where musicians from fledglings to professionals can perform a 10 minute set for one of the most welcoming, attentive and participative audiences in town. Aspiring Open Stage performers can sign-up with the VFMS Host between 7:00 and 7:30pm to do a set but should get there early to improve their chances of getting on the evening�s line-up.
