Fiddlehead Festival,
Saturday 18 Feb at Yinnar
An uncoiling, new fern frond, or fiddlehead, symbolises the return of life after a bushfire. Come along
and hear, see and experience the power of music in strengthening and building resilience
in Victorian communities at the Fiddlehead Festival.
The
concept behind the Fiddlehead Festival is to get communities from across
Victoria together to share and celebrate with the broader public their powerful
experiences of community music making - not only as a means of aiding recovery
from disaster such as fire and flood but as an effective way to create vibrant,
strong communities. It will provide an opportunity to everyone who attends to
participate in and experience community music making first hand as well as hear
how music making strengthens communities and see some great performances from
community singers, musicians and artists.
