Heart of Sierra - The Virtual Alasdair Fraser's Sierra Fiddle Camp


Our wonderful faculty will lead classes on Scottish, Cajun, and Scandinavian music, and we’ll take some of the favorite elements from 15 years at Sierra Camp – village gatherings, forums, morning yoga, costume madness – and recreate our beloved village. Participants will enter the online village through the gateway of our expressly-designed website.

Classes will be taught using “Zoom.” Active participation and creative collaboration with other online campers (ceilidh acts? jams? dancing? composing?) will be encouraged, and facilitated by information on our website. Technical assistance will be available, but we enter uncharted waters, and we do this in the spirit of fun, learning and can-do-ness! - and the crac will be mighty! Please see current draft schedule to get a flavor of what Heart of Sierra will be like!

The original teaching faculty for Siera Fiddle Camp 2020 are enthusiastically joining us for this ground breaking celebration of adventure in music and community. See Alasdair Fraser's Sierra Fiddle Camp for exciting line-up of instructors.
