There’s a new musical group in Fairbanks, and they will be the featured performers at the popular monthly Music & More series on Saturday evening, November 16, beginning at 7 PM at First United Methodist Church, 915 Second Avenue. International Chamber Music Alaska will give its inaugural concert, under the direction of UAF violin faculty member Dr. Yue Sun. They will showcase some of Fairbanks’ best string players and the Northern Lights String Orchestra in presenting a program that includes works by Haydn, Mozart, Gliere, and Beliczay, plus some Scandinavian and Chinese folk tunes.

Music & More, now in its third year, provides family-friendly entertainment for all ages in a sanctuary setting that is safe, comfortable and convenient. There is no admission charge, but attendees are encouraged to make donations, most of which are given to the performers.
Looking ahead, on Saturday, December 14 at 7 PM, Caitlin Frye and her Valley Below band will perform. The group describes itself as “an original mash-up of all the great American music traditions: country, blues, gospel, rock, bluegrass, soul, and everything in between. It’s groovy, it’s fun, it’s fresh and a little weird sometimes–a good mix of originals, deep covers, and songs you know.” Their album “Time to Let Go” was released in 2023.
The first presentation of 2025 will feature Fairbanks’ singer/guitarist/songwriter Helen Graves on Sunday, January 26, at 3 PM in a concert that is sure to please old and young alike. Among other appearances, Helen has performed at the Fairbanks Arts Association’s Gazebo Nights, the Fairbanks Folk Fest and as a contributor to the 2024 Tiny Desk Contest. Besides her performance schedule, her Wildwoods Music offers weekly music and movement classes for children ages 0-5 and their caregivers.
