Details

The lush sound of this band (2 violins, flute, piano & string bass) adds a mellow feel to an evening of dancing.  Our experienced caller will present an engaging mix of dances from easy and familiar to new and different.

Caller

Richard Sauvain

Richard is the founder of Rochester’s current English dance series. His clear and persistent vision, quietly developed with his elegant, urbane style, is singularly responsible for the strong English Country Dance program Rochester has today. Beloved by all, his calling is always a pleasure to dance to.

Band

Arugula band has Fred on bass, Mike on fiddle, Silvia on flute and Barb on piano.

Arugula

Mike Hoeschele (fiddle & mandolin), Silvia Sörensen (flute), Barb Seppeler (piano), Fred Filbrich (bass)

Dependably enjoyable Rochester regulars, Arugula plays for both Contra and English Country dances.
