Join us on Tuesday, March 10 for a Speaker Session with Malcom Smith on the Clawhammer Banjo Masters of Southwest Virginia. SW Virginia has been and continues to be a hotbed of clawhammer banjo playing and old time music. Over the past year, a group of researchers and musicians have put together a new website featuring more than 50 Masters of the folk art, that includes biographies, tunes and anecdotes about the development of the style in the Blue Ridge and beyond. Hear these Masters come to life as Dr. Malcolm Smith, who spearheaded the project along with banjoist Mac Traynham and fiddler and web designer, Jason Phillips, shares stories, music and highlights from this new resource.

The event is one class held in two sessions. Led by dulcimer player and instructor Roxanne McDaniel, participants will have the opportunity to build their own dulcimer from cardboard using simple tools. Introduced in the early 19th century by Scots-Irish immigrants, the dulcimer has a prominent history in Appalachian music. Participants in the workshop will learn more about that history and the importance of keeping this uniquely Appalachian instrument relevant for younger generations.
