Fiddelium is a youth fiddle group from Nanaimo, British Columbia, founded in 2011[1]. The group consists of 13 members between the ages of 12 and 18[2], and an accompanist who acts as co-director alongside the director. It is primarily composed of violin players, with three viola players and a cello player. The accompanist plays piano and guitar and the director occasionally plays the double bass. The group was founded by director Trish Horrocks and accompanist Geoff Horrocks, wife and husband. The group has released one CD, Fiddelium[3], which won a Canadian Folk Music Award in 2023 in the Young Performers of the Year category[4][5]. The group has also won two CBC Music Class Challenges in 2020[6][7] and 2021[8][9], respectively.
The membership of Fiddelium has changed over the years, with members often leaving the group after graduating from high-school, and various younger members replacing them.
