The Wild West Fiddle Project : Arizona's Hidden Soundscape

Join Dr. Kate Rose for a fun, all-ages AZ Speaks program that brings Arizona’s multicultural folk music and dance heritage to life. Through live fiddle music, storytelling, and audience participation, discover how tunes from interwoven communities adapted to the rhythms of Arizona’s landscapes. From open skies to deep canyons and forested highlands, these revived melodies, with the fiddler as cultural ambassador, reveal how music and place shaped community celebrations. Listen, clap, dance, and experience how Arizona’s folk traditions continue to live, breathe, and connect us across generations.
