Dulcimers at Dusk with Pegg Conderman

Discover the Mountain Dulcimer: History, Heritage, and Hands-On Music

Join us on September 22 at 5:00 PM for an engaging exploration of North America’s unique folk instrument, the Mountain Dulcimer. We’ll dive into the rich history of this traditional Appalachian instrument and trace the remarkable life of Jean Ritchie, the "Mother of Folk," who brought the dulcimer to global prominence.

Best of all, this isn't just a presentation—it’s an interactive session! Dulcimers will be provided on-site so attendees can try their hand at playing and hear the hauntingly beautiful sound for themselves. No prior musical experience is required.

Highlights: Historical talk, Jean Ritchie bio, and hands-on instrument demo
