We are excited to offer a combined workshop and concert day with one of our favourite USA tutors – Karen Ashbrook.
The day offers a chance to take a workshop online with one of the tutors who is coming in person this October to our annual weekend. The cost is £30 for the workshop.
In addition there is a concert with KA/PO - Karen and her performing partner and husband Paul Oorts - open to all, whether or not you attend the workshops. Entry is free but we hope you will send our performers a tip!
We hope to see you there!
We are excited to offer a combined workshop and concert day with two of our favourite USA tutors – Stephen Seifert (Mountain Dulcimer) and Stephen Humphries (Hammered Dulcimer).
The day offers a chance to take classes online with two tutors who are coming in person this October to our annual weekend. If you can't attend in October or just want a sneak preview of their classes and their approach, this event gives you the perfect opportunity. And while the classes will provide a firm foundation to some of the things covered in October, they are not a pre-requisite and are designed to complement (not duplicate) our October weekend classes. The cost is £30 per workshop.
In addition there is a lunchtime concert featuring both tutors, open to all, whether or not you attend the workshops. We hope to see you there!
