Move over Puccini: Here come the fiddlers. Emboldened by the runaway success of its screenings of Metropolitan Opera productions, Cineplex Entertainment takes another step in the wide world of performing arts this week when it screens Bowfire: Live in Concert in 56 selected theatres.
- Garaud MacTaggart, News Contributing Reviewer, The Buffalo News
"The whole "Bowfire" project is a well-thought-out and well-performed stage extravaganza featuring a backup rhythm section and (counting Solomon) eight violinist-fiddlers playing licks with roots in jazz, classical, bluegrass and Celtic idioms. This focus on one specific instrument and how diverse musical traditions can adapt to that instrument help differentiate "Bowfire" from standard concert fare."
- Alexander Choman, Music Critic, The Citizen's Voice
"All players and performers demonstrated their multi-talented skills to the delight of the Kirby audience, which frequently gave them standing ovations. The outstanding lineup of violin and fiddle virtuosos provides the musical score for an impressive presentation of pristine sound, creative choreography and a subtle but effective lighting scheme, all of which enhanced the entire production. Bowfire is a night of music, song and dance destined to please the most discerning aural palette."
