"Bowfire demonstrates what the violin and fiddle can do in the hands of masters... an evening of showstopping hits strung together in glorious sequence boasting an awesome range of music. If it's violin or fiddle music you're after, you can't go wrong with Bowfire."
- The Record

Lenny Solomon is the Artistic Director as well as a performer in BOWFIRE, the "Total Violin Experience". It is a a one of a kind musical and theatrical experience featuring critically acclaimed violinists and fiddlers in a fast paced theatrically staged production. Bowfire encompasses styles as diverse as classical, jazz, country, rock, old-time, Texas-style, bluegrass, gypsy, eclectic, Celtic, and electric. The high level of talent and the diverse range of material presented in their performances serve not only as a testament to the virtuosity of these musicians, but also as a loving tribute to this amazingly versatile, complex and lyrically romantic instrument. Assembled by Lenny Solomon, the performing ensemble consists of violinists, piano, bass, drums, guitar, and cello.

Formed in June 2000, Bowfire made its debut performance the following month at Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Audience response was wildly enthusiastic, and the group was subsequently invited to perform on the Governor-General’s Awards telecast, the Canadian equivalent of the United States’ Kennedy Center Honors. The ensemble made its American debut in a series of performances during the summer of 2001 in New York City, and embarked on their first U.S. tour during the 2002-2003 season. In December 2003 Bowfire made its Asian debut with performances in Taiwan. The show continues to tour to sold out venues across the U.S. and Canada.

"Bowfire blurred individual traditions in the fast-paced onslaught of top-flight playing... Everything I heard was slick, well-produced and well-played. Nothing was overdone." - Houston Chronicle
