Summer Strings
July 19-30, 2021
Summer Strings offers participants the opportunity to perform in large ensembles and chamber music groups and to learn fiddle tunes. Whether participants are looking for a summer program that enhances their musicianship or performance ability or whether simply looking to make new friends with fellow musicians, Summer Strings has offered both to our community for over 50 years.
For two weeks in July, the main focus of Summer Strings 2021 will be for Intermediate and Advanced players, Monday-Friday from 1-5 pm at the DMC, with masks and social distancing.
There will be a concert of the program participants on the final Friday at 7:30 pm.
Beginner and Novice groups will return in 2022.
