Singer-songwriter Raine Hamilton with the MCO

A 2018 Canadian Folk Music Award winner, Raine Hamilton tells stories and jokes, plays the fiddle and guitar, and sings their distinctive blend of folk and classical music.

Arranger Kenley Kristofferson has expanded Raine’s intricate songs — generally for guitar, violin, cello, and bass — for larger orchestral ensemble, and at this concert we’ll experience Raine with guitar and fiddle alongside the MCO. Continuing in a similar vein, we’ll also hear a number of traditional fiddle tunes, jigs, and medleys by just the orchestra; wonderful expansions of some of the same repertoire toured by our Fiddlers on the Loose ensemble in northern Manitoba. The MCO is also pleased to present four pieces by some of the most audience-pleasing composers of the twentieth century.
