Mountain and Hammered Dulcimer Duet Weekend
November 4 – 5, 2011
Ozark Folk Center
Come join former National Mountain Dulcimer Champion, Larry Conger and former Southwest Regional Hammered Dulcimer Champion, Rick Thum as they present four mountain and hammered dulcimer workshops designed specifically for duet playing. The weekend begins with a “Meet and Greet” on Friday evening followed by our 90 minute workshops on Saturday. Each arrangement planned for the workshops has been previously taught at the Dixie Carter Performing Arts Center Duet Dulcimer Retreat in 2008. The arrangements include hymns, spirituals, rounds and canons. Last year, Larry’s “Dulcimer in Worship” workshops at the Folk Center were a huge hit so this is an event you don’t want to miss!
Advancing Beginner to Intermediate level – some arrangements more challenging than others.
All arrangements to be taught as duets but can also be played as solos.
