Details
Arguably the longest-lived country dance band in Rochester, this group recently added a second violinist who seems to have brought them a burst of energy. Calling tonight is our newest local English caller, who is already bringing her fresh perspective to presenting the ECD repertoire.
Caller
Colleen Liggett
A longtime member of our dance community, Colleen initiated live music at our dances, arranging music and organizing the first bands when the English dance series began in the 1980s. Colleen currently books our performers and has more recently turned her considerable enthusiasm towards calling. In addition to calling for us, she and her husband, John, host dances on their back porch.
Band
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.
