TRADITIONS
The Oklahoma Traditions is the OCTMA demonstration and performance
group. The Traditions was formed to perform and demonstrate at public
functions the rich tradition of American and Celtic music which
OCTMA is dedicated to preserve and promote. The Traditions have
regularly performed at the Arts Festival Oklahoma, the Oklahoma
State Fair, the Rose State College, Global Oklahoma Fest, and at
other fairs, festivals, and special events.
Not only performers, the members of the Traditions are also ambassadors
for the cause of traditional music and for the OCTMA. The audience
is informed about the OCTMA and encouraged to attend a club meeting
to share in our music and friendship. After each performance the
audience is invited on the stage to get a closer look at the instruments
and to learn more about our music.
All OCTMA members are eligible to volunteer for The Oklahoma Traditions.
The group is a means to improve musicanship as individuals and group
members, and to enjoy the rewards of public performance. While not
a professional group, the Traditions is nevertheless an amateur
group with high standards and a strong sense of commitment among
all members.
The group normally practices once a month (2 hours on a Sunday
afternoon) at a location in the Oklahoma City area. For additional
information about joining The Oklahoma Traditions or scheduling
a performance, please E-mail Nancy Cain at fiddler53@aol.com
