Shark and Fox will give a special performance at Avoca Beach Theatre on Friday, March 15.
It will be a master performance of musical styles from across the world including frenetic Bulgarian dances, dynamic Argentine folkloric music, haunting Appalachian music and Swedish polskas.
Shark and Fox is made up of Australian Emily-Rose Sarkova (accordion/vocals/synthesiser) and Canadian Jaron Freeman-Fox (fiddle/vocals/viola d’amore/fretless guitar).
Freman-Fox’s projects have garnered multiple Canadian music awards, while Sarkova has been an ARIA and Art Music Award finalist.
After meeting in Australia and then spending a month in Toronto composing and recording their debut album, Shark and Fox are embarking on their first Australian tour, including appearances at the National Folk Festival (ACT), Fairbridge Folk Festival (WA) and in the Blue Mountains.
“Playing with Jaron is like getting the ultimate musical adrenaline fix,” Sarkova said.
“Audiences are going to be immersed in music from a vast history of accordion and fiddle folk music and be surprised by the places this music can go.”
Joining Shark and Fox for the night will be the Guanaco Trio direct from Argentina who perform original compositions and interpretations of Argentine folkloric music on violin, bandoneón and guitar.
