Chris McKhool is making the world a smaller place with 'Fiddle Fire!' / Regina Leader-Post

Posted: February 21, 2020

The Toronto-based musician introduces children to world music through his Fiddle Fire! performances. He's always "adding, adding, adding" to what young audiences will hear when he steps on stage. Over the Rainbow Children's Entertainment Series presents Fiddle Fire! Sunday at 2 p.m. at Sault Community Theatre Centre. "For me, it's just this great opportunity to expose young people to sounds they might not have heard before," McKhool told The Sault Star before a recent show at a school in the provincial capital. "The world's a really big place."

He'll feature about a dozen different styles of music – "at least snippets of them," he promises – during his matinee performance. By getting youngsters to sing, clap and play instruments he's bringing along for a Northern Ontario tour, McKhool is hopeful "they have a really great time and get exposed to sounds from around the world." He's also keen to plant a few creative seeds to encourage concert-goers to remember their experience at his show and take any instrument and "play it in any style." Remembering "how much fun it is to play music" is also another hoped-for outcome McKhool has for his audiences.
