AlgomaTrad is ready to grow, after 16 years of building community and helping to share and celebrate traditional music, dance, art, and heritage craft. Julie Schryer and Pat OâGorman involved themselves in the traditional music and dance community long before they officially founded the organization in 2004. Schryer spent her youth playing piano alongside four of her brothers, all award-winning fiddlers, and has performed with many notable artists and taught at several schools and camps. OâGorman has played bagpipes for 53 years and wooden concert flute for 40, studying traditional music in Ireland, Brittany, and Cape Breton. He also has an impressive performance and teaching record. Both Schryer and OâGorman perform with the Brian Pickell Band, and The OâSchraves, a band made up of Schryer, OâGorman, their daughter Aine, and Schryerâs sons Zach and Benoit.
