Traditional Celtic Music
We are an orchestra comprised mainly of violins (15), viola, accordion, bass, piano and flutes. Our musicians are from NS and NB.
The Caledonian Orchestra was formed in 1993 and has evolved into a performance oriented group of musicians dedicated to the promotion of traditional Scottish music. Our Scottish Orchestra has a sound distinctive to the culture of Scotland following the musical compositions and style of William Marshall, Neil Gow, Scott Skinner and other composers of this time. The harmonies, timing and tempo all reflect a style of music, unique to a country where history was determined not only by events, but through a developed awareness of dance and song. Scottish music is unique and strives to capture the essence of its people and culture. Lively marches, strathspeys, reels, laments and waltzes are the origins of our extensive repertoire. Instruments such as the accordions and flutes help to establish and promote the true, "Scottish Fiddle Orchestra Sound."
We are a performance group, eager to share and bring the traditional sounds of "Old Scotland" to our audience.
