On Wednesday, May 27, Oliver Schroers many musical friends and members of his band The Stewed Tomatoes will reunite to celebrate Olis music.

Canada's finest and most beloved fiddler, Oliver died of Leukemia in 2008 at the age of 52 and his last concert is the subject a fine documentary Silence at the Heart of Things.

Oliver Schroer was a unique fiddler/composer who lived at the cutting edge. His musical explorations took him far beyond his traditional Canadian roots into the realms of jazz, Scandinavian, Balkan, and Asian music. But he went much farther. He melded those elements into a unique and recognizable style of his own: lyrical, fractal, a continuously twisting thread. Once his music has been heard, its hard to mistake it for anyone elses. He is particularly known for his contemplative solo works composed and recorded on his walk of the Camino, but also led a wild and colourful group of young fiddlers known as the Twisted String on the West Coast.

He performed across North America and Europe, was a featured guest on virtually every leading Canadian national radio show, and was the subject of numerous special broadcasts. He was a frequent collaborator, working with songwriter James Keelaghan, Irish flautist Nuala Kennedy, Italian accordionist Philippo Gambetta and guitar innovator Don Ross.

Oliver composed over 1,000 pieces and recorded eight CDs of his own compositions. Of the roughly thirty albums Oliver produced, eight have been nominated for Juno Awards.

Many of us have been so influenced by Oliver in so many ways - here's a great way to say thankyou and play some of his huge and wide-reaching repertoire!
