Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering: Everyone—welcome Jam at 6:45pm, Open Stage at 7:30pm, Feature Performers Savoir Faire at 9:00pm; Friendship Hall (formerly Norway House) 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash at the door
Honing their craft over many years and countless farmers’ market sets in Vancouver, Savoir Faire’s forte is audience interaction and breaking the "fourth wall”. Expect music from many far-flung places: traditional music from Europe, including France, England, the Balkans, the Baltics, and Georgia, as well as a number of iconic Canadian songs. With styles ranging from soulful ballads to humourous drinking songs to fast dance tunes, the set list will also include many songs with sing-along choruses, too (just not all in English! ) And for good measure, you may even be treated to a few easy folk dances snaking their way around the room!!
Savoir Faire is: Kristina Zalite (lead vocals, percussion), Naomi Steinberg (lead vocals, flute), Oliver Schneider (button accordion, tambura, backing vocals), Greg Coyes (guitar, lead and backing vocals), and Helen Lambourne (viola, recorder, backing vocals). . . and you (hand clapping/chorus/backing vocals)
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
