WE'RE VIRTUAL AGAIN!

Plus an all-star team of workshop leaders and vendors that will be announced later.

Full schedule of classes will be announced in the summer. Registration will open in August.

The 2021 Nutmeg Dulcimer Festival will be held online -- with workshops Friday-Saturday, October 1-2, and Concerts Friday-Saturday-Sunday, October 1-2-3. We offer a full program of workshops for hammered and mountain dulcimer players of all levels. In addition, tickets to the three concerts will be available for sale to the general public.

Classes and concerts all will be on Zoom. If you need training or practice, we'll provide it.

Our schedule will be similar to 2020, though there may be some changes. Like last year, we'll have 3 workshop periods Friday afternoon and 5 Saturday morning-afternoon (Eastern Time). We have 4 featured artists this year, and they all will perform in the Saturday evening concert. Like last year, our instructors will perform in the Friday evening and Sunday afternoon concerts. We will have participants across the USA and in multiple foreign countries ... Workshop periods this year are numbered, instead of being listed by their starting times ... Registration and class selection will be 100% online.

.

Regardless of these differences, we are still Nutmeg. We'll try to capture some of the social aspects the festival. You'll be able to visit with the vendors. We love the larger dulcimer festivals, too, with a dozen or more featured artists, but we're bringing you a different experience; we can't do what they do, and they can't do some of the things we're doing. We hope you love "virtual Nutmeg" as much as we do.

We believe that dulcimers of all types are among the world's most wonderful musical instruments. They're fun to play, and fun to listen to. They belong in both folk music and popular music.  Our mission is to bring dulcimers and dulcimer music into public awareness.

In 2022, we plan to be back at Mary Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church
