Calvin Vollrath

“No one deserves this honour more then my friend & mentor Calvin Vollrath. My description of Calvin is simply this ”There are the rest of us fiddle players, then there's Calvin, he quite simply has no peers!".

Join us in November for a 3-day festival to celebrate the release of two new albums on Saturday November 2 - one of new originals & one of Métis traditionals. The weekend will be anchored by a ‘Classic Country Show & Dance’ on Friday night and the ever popular ‘Fiddle Gala’ on Sunday afternoon. Additionally, there will be the premier showing of ‘The Mystery of the Ookpik’, a film documentary based on Frankie Rodgers' popular waltz followed by a panel discussion with some of Frankie's closest friends. This will be followed with a fiddle jam hosted by the Wild Rose Old Tyme Fiddlers Association. Join us for the weekend and save $$.

For this weekend, our host hotel the St. Albert Inn is offering a special rate.

The 4th edition of CV TOW is growing…. since we will not be holding a Virtual Winter Camp Calvin January 2024, we have decided to combine the two events and are excited to announce a revised CV TOW for 2024.

Which means we have invited Camp Calvin instructors to the 2024 edition. We are excited to announce that Mark Sullivan, Daniel Gervais, April Verch and Alex Kusturok will offer workshops on a variety of technical aspects to improve your playing. We have a schedule made up when each of these guest instructors will appear. Calvin will teach the other four lessons.

CV TOW is an 1-hr online group fiddle lesson offered on the first Tuesday of the month for 8 months from February - November, with a recess for summer.
