An award-winning fiddle group will play a hometown gig in Nanaimo this month.

Fiddelium, a group of 18 musicians between the ages of 10 and 19, will play the Shaw Auditorium on Jan. 18.

The show will be varied and entertaining, according to a press release, featuring traditional and contemporary folk music from around the world. 

“Nanaimo has a growing number of reasons to be proud of the musicians in Fiddelium,” the release noted, detailing the group's Young Performers of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards in 2023 and nomination for the same award in 2024. Fiddelium also won the CBC Canadian Music Class Challenge twice in 2019 and 2020. 

“These national awards come with good reason: this is a truly exceptional ensemble who present professional-level performances to overjoyed audiences up and down Vancouver Island,” the release added. 

Tickets are $39 for adults and $23 for kids 12 and younger and can be purchased at http://eventbrite.com.
