“It’s going to be a lot of fun, I’m quite excited,” says Gabriel Dubreuil, the Executive and Artistic Director for the North Shore Celtic Ensemble. “It’s going to be high energy and something that is really unique, I don’t think it has been done before.”

Dubreuil adds he hopes the performance will liven up the space and make a difference in people’s commute. Come down to Waterfront Station to enjoy this Madonna fiddle mash-up performance!

The North Shore Celtic Ensemble is the Lower Mainland’s largest and North Vancouver’s only alternative youth music program specializing in fold and fiddle music. Their goal is to inspire youth to go further with music, and to use it to build and strengthen community connections.

The group of young musicians performing at Waterfront are between 12 and 19 years old. Despite being a young group, they’ve performed at notable venues including the Centennial Theatre, Terry Fox Theatre, Vancouver Folk Fest, the Calgary Stampede, and Festival du Bois.
