Folk College, held May 22 - 24 at Juniata College in central PA, is a fun and friendly weekend for folk musicians of all levels, from absolute beginner to professional level.
Visit us online (www.folkcollege.com) for all the details, which includes lots of workshops, 3 concerts, 2 coaching sessions, plus jamming, singing, and dancing.
Faculty includes host band Simple Gifts, blues artist & historian Scott Ainslie, Boston-based progressive string band High Horse, the amazing Americana of Low Lily, the Nordic scoundscapes of Ponyfolk, the genre-bending magic of Midnight on the Water, and more. Check out the full list at www.folkcollege.com.
Musicians of all instruments and levels are welcome, and there are also choices for non-musicians who want to listen, learn, and experiment with folk music. Each evening features a faculty concert followed by faculty-led jam sessions. Saturday after the concert, we hold a contradance with an open band.
You'll also have an opportunity to be coached by a professional musician in a band setting and to perform in the student concert. Professional development will be offered for school teachers, including Act 48 credit for Pennsylvania teachers.
