What is Barrage? It's a troupe of violin playing
twenty-year-olds in a theatrical music
performance that elevates the versatile violin to
new and magical heights. The twelve-piece
Canadian ensemble, with seven violinists joined
by percussion, bass, guitar and keyboard,
features a wide range of musical influences.
Music Director Dean Marshall's original score puts a contemporary spin
on Blues, Calypso, Swing, Country, Jazz, Klezmer, Classical and Pop.With
rock-show lighting and an exuberant display of spoon-clacking, Barrage’s
violins take on different moods, from poetic nuance to rough-and-ready
fiddle.The musicians display a funky fashion sense and unlimited
energy, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Barrage:The
World on Stage, was a PBS concert special, a huge hit at Epcot and
Disney World, and in its tours of Europe, the U.S. and Canada.
Like the heart-pounding productions of Riverdance, Stomp
and Cirque du Soleil that defy traditional theatrical
description, Barrage is an experience that must be seen and heard.
