Kalissa Hernandez
|
|
At 20 years
old, Victoria BC’s Kalissa Hernandez has received much recognition
for her hard work both performing and competing. When she was 12
years old, she made fiddle history by being the youngest person ever
to win the title of BC Provincial Fiddle Champion where all her
competitors were adults. Kalissa has been invited four times to
represent BC at the Canadian Grand Masters (National Fiddle
Competition), in Ottawa. She has performed at various Folk Festivals
across Canada, both fiddling and stepdancing. Kalissa has been
teaching fiddle lessons for a number of years, and has more recently
began to teach at fiddle camps as well. She plays a variety of
fiddle styles including Irish, Old Time Canadian, Cajun, Texas
Swing, Celtic and Metis. Kalissa has won many awards in the
classical music world for her violin playing, but mostly just enjoys
jamming and sharing tunes!
