Instrument workshops continue this summer at the Ozark Folk Center State Park with the annual Hammered Dulcimer Workshops.
Classes are held daily from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., July 28 – 30 and feature instruction for all levels of players. Ilace Mears, Linda Thomas and Rick Thum are featured instructors and performers for the event.
“No matter ones playing ability or style, these workshops have something for players looking to hone their skills” said Music Director Daren Dortin. “And like all of the workshops we host, the sense of community and comradery among the players is very strong.”
In addition to the daily workshops, each instructor will be a featured performer as part of the nightly music show, held each evening in the Large Auditorium, from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
