The Fretless with Madeleine Roger
Chamberfest welcomes back fan favourites The Fretless with special guest singer Madeleine Roger. A JUNO Award-winning supergroup of celebrated solo artists, The Fretless is a progressive string quartet renowned for their fresh approach to folk and chamber music. Their transformation of fiddle tunes and folk melodies into intricate, subtle, beautiful, percussive, and high-energy arrangements has gained them a dedicated following and accolades from around the world. Joining them is Winnipeg-based singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger, adding a layer of folky vocals in the style of The Fretless’ 2022 chamberfolk album Open House, a collaboration with 10 guest vocalists from across the Canadian folk scene.
