We may also need to cancel future dances so please check in to see what’s happening with our dance schedule!
Here’s hoping things get back to normal really soon!
The Sybaritic String Band will be performing twice at 2020 Festival du Bois.
First up is a FREE Contradance on Friday, March 6th, from 8-10 pm, with calling in both French and English by Maureen Collier. The Festival tent opens at 6pm and will start off with a free concert at 7 pm by the Celtic Lasses. Then it’s time to dance!
Our next festival performance is a concert set on March 7th, from 11:45 – 12:30 pm on the main stage.
Come hear The Sybs like you’ve never heard them before. We’ll be playing traditional and original compositions and even doing a bit of singing! And of course, lots of high energy tunes to boogey to.
See you there!
