Music at the Frist: Contrarian Ensemble (early music)

The delightful Contrarian Ensemble—Bruce Baxter (accordion), John Hedgecoth (mandolin), William Jeffries (guitar) and Svend Thomsen (fiddle)—performs an eclectic variety of dance music from the 1300s to the present, including traditional tunes from the U.S., the British Isles, and Europe, as well as original compositions. The group performs reels, jigs, and waltzes for contra dances in the region. Dancing is welcome and encouraged!

Admission is free for college students with valid school ID on Thursday and Friday evenings from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. (with the exception of Frist Fridays).
