"Bred in the mountains of Canada’s rural north-west, Jaron Freeman-Fox redefines what the violin is capable of, and gives you no choice but to take his mutant species of music on it’s own terms."
This Sunday, Jaron will drop into the Global Village to talk about his music and the continual journeys that have taken him to study in India, Sweden, and Indonesia. We might inveigle him to play us something on the 5-string violins of his late mentor - fiddle pioneer Oliver Schroer.
Jaron and his award-winning band Jaron Freeman-Fox & The Opposite of Everything, will be on their way to Warburton, but return to Melbourne for a final gig here on Monday (5 pm; Open Studio). We'll ask him about nomadic Rajasthani gypsies, breaking three different fiddles on stage (but zero bones to date), and having his violin stolen by monkeys in Bali but getting it back without contracting rabies.
That's this Sunday: right up front at 5 pm in the Global Village.
