Fiddle Fest

Fiddle Fest 2025

We are excited to invite you to the 11th Annual Fiddle Fest, hosted in conjunction with Gilbert Town Fiddlers and sponsored by Milano Music! Fiddle Fest is a day for string players of any age, both students and teachers, to explore different fiddling traditions. All ability levels and bowed string instruments (violin, viola, cello, and bass!) are welcome. It will be a packed day of fun tunes, new techniques, grooving, and performances from students and professionals!

Saturday, February 22, 2025
9:00 am – 2:30 pm
Basha High School, 5990 S Val Vista Dr, Chandler, AZ 85249

Registration Fee: $50 for students (includes t-shirt and lunch if you register by Feb. 13)

Online registration will close on Feb. 20 at 11:59 PM, but registrants will be accepted in-person on the day of the event.

While the event is geared towards student-aged musicians, teachers and young professionals are also welcome to participate and/or observe classes throughout the day! ASTA members can attend for free; non-ASTA teachers can attend for $20.

We are especially excited to share that this year’s guest instructors are Devon Gardner (fiddle & guitar) & Adam Gurczak (bass)! These Boston-based musicians, both originally from the East Valley, have been making waves in New England as artists and educators, both solo and together as a folk duo (So Blue). With their vast performance experiences and educational chops, we are excited to bring them back home to teach, share with, and perform for our community!
