ROSIN UP!!!
Applications are now open for my 1st Annual Blue Ridge Fiddle Camp, and it's free to apply. Last day to submit will be March 9.
Celebrating individual voices and embracing both tradition and innovation, Blue Ridge Fiddle Camp invites all adventurous and open-minded players of the instrument around the globe—of any style or number of strings, acoustic or electric—to come together and shape the future of bowed string playing.
I've pulled together a world-class faculty including Darol Anger, Scott Tixier, Tatiana Hargreaves, Jamey Haddad, and Zachary Brown, to guide you through 4 inspiring days & nights exploring rhythm, technology, and style at the beautiful Brevard Music Center.
