In 2007, the Sabir Sisters opened the Sabir Sisters Music Studio in Abbotsford, British Columbia and offer lessons in Violin, Fiddle, Voice, Piano, Music Theory and Step Dance. In 2007 Sarah and Roxanna Sabir also founded their senior level youth fiddle performance group, The West Coast Fiddlers, as well as the Sabir Sisters non-profit society, the Harmony Music Society, designed to promote traditional fiddle and folk music in Canada. This group of twenty musicians ranging from 8 to 18 years old had the honor of performing with the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra from Edinburgh at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver and the Bell Centre for the Performing Arts in Surrey. In 2008 the West Coast Fiddlers were invited to tour Scotland. 2010 has been a busy year! Both the sisters, and their students, the West Coast Fiddlers, had the honor of performing at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. The studio founders (Sarah and Roxanna Sabir) are pleased with the growth of the Music Studio and have been very excited to welcome Mairi Rankin and Andrew and Andrea Wong to the new roster of instructors; adding classes in Cape Breton Fiddle and Step Dancing and Royal Conservatory. In 2010, the West Coast Fiddlers also released a new CD entitled “Taking it Home”. In 2005 the Sabir Sisters began their first annual Sabir Sisters Music Camp. Over the years, they have been thrilled to welcome the extraordinary talent of Trent Freeman, Mairi Rankin, Pierre Schryer, Mark Sullivan, Kevin Burke, Wendy MacIsaac, Liz Carroll, Mairi Campbell, Findlay Napier, Gillian Frame, Adrian Dolan and many more. The camp has featured classes in Fiddle, Guitar, Piano, bodhron, whistles, voice and step dancing The Sabir Sisters Music Studio is preparing for another summer of excitement! Instead of hosting their annual Summer Music Camp, the studio has arranged for The West Coast Fiddlers to travel to Lakefield, Ontario in July 2011 to study with the Leahy Family and Natalie MacMaster at the Leahy Music Camp. The Sabir Sisters will re-open their annual summer music institute in July 2012! We are excitedly preparing for our new line up of talented instructors as well as our new camp schedule and classes.
