Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums
Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes & Drums was established in 1982 by Boston-area musicians who wished to further explore the traditional repertoires of the regimental fife and drum corps associated with the European or American armies during the American War for Independence, 1775-1783.
Today MCV has evolved into a repertory ensemble performing martial, dance, and folk music drawn from 17th to early 19th century sources in America and Europe, as well as contemporary compositions. MCV’s mission is to research, perform, and promote the music of the fife and drum, to celebrate its historic roots, and to pass this living tradition along by example and instruction.
