Hello fellow Irish tenor banjo enthusiasts! You are cordially invited to the fourth annual tenor banjo gathering in beautiful banjo-friendly Baltimore! This year we'll be joined by a four fantastic instructors: Shane Mulchrone, Pauline Conneely, Simon Lace, and Patrick Winch. We'll also have four NON-BANJO (wow) classes with some of our guest musicians: Eamon Sefton (Guitar), Anna Colliton (Bodhran), Noah Kelly (Fiddle), and Calum Bell (Flute).
HOW IT WILL GO DOWN
FRIDAY, 11/14: We'll be having a welcome concert at the Creative Alliance in Patterson Park featuring the Simon Lace trio, banjo summit instructors, and local Irish music masters! It'll be open to the general public and will be a performance to remember, with late night sessions to follow! Anyone who loves Irish traditional music won't want to miss it!
SATURDAY, 11/15: we'll have banjo workshops during the day with our four instructors - attendees will be divided into four groups, and each group will rotate from teacher to teacher, so that everyone will get a total of four workshops, one with each teacher! If four is too much for you, there will also be sessions throughout the day, and vendors in the main room you can check out, so feel free to take it at your own pace!
We will also be offering four NON-BANJO (wow) classes with some of our visiting musicians during the four banjo class slots - these can be taken instead of or in addition to the banjo classes! They are:
Bodhran with Anna Colliton
Guitar with Eamon Sefton
Fiddle with Noah Kelly
Flute with Calum Bell
In the evening we'll have the Baltimore Ceili to get some movement in after a day of LEARNING! Come and dance the night away with us, meet your fellow banjo summit attendees, and take advantage of Baltimore's great Irish music and dance community! We'll also be having a big session afterwards, so make sure to bring any instruments you want to play!
A full schedule will be available to view soon!
