Glenrose is primarily a traditional instrument music ensemble. Glenrose was formed as a Contra Dance band in 1991. Most of us still live in North Rose, NY. The band also plays for English Country dances and many types of traditional folk dance and listening music, as well as more classically oriented material for weddings, dances and other celebrations.
