Julie Fitzgerald

We are thrilled to announce that Julie Fitzgerald is returning to Music Camp this year! Known for her skill and excellence in many musical departments, she is a fearless artist who continues to inspire people and break ground, wherever she goes.

Julie Fitzgerald is a 2-Time Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion and Ontario Open Stepdance Champion originally from Bancroft, ON. She grew up immersed in the Ottawa-Valley and Celtic styles, attending weekly fiddle competitions and jam sessions across Ontario. She currently tours with several artists and groups, including her siblings in the group The Fitzgeralds.

Known for pushing boundaries by fusing traditional and modern styles of fiddle and dance to create their own unique sound and style, The Fitzgeralds were nominated for the 2020 Canadian Folk Music Awards for Instrumental Group of the Year, as well as the 2022 Ontario Folk Music Awards, for their debut Christmas album Christmas Across Canada.

Julie has toured North America, the UK, Japan, Germany, Bahamas, Caribbean, and Switzerland. She performs in the new Celtic group Alchemy, and has also performed in the fiddle and dance show The Step Crew and all-female Irish group Cherish the Ladies.

Julie received a Degree in Music from Humber College and was the recipient of several awards including the Ron Collier Scholarship for Arranging, and New Venture Seed Fund for her entrepreneurial pursuits in the music and dance business. She created an Instructional Step Dance DVD and also launched the first ever Online Lessons site for Ottawa-Valley Step Dance.

We can't wait for everyone to work with Julie at Music Camp and share in her many musical gifts!
