Folk College, held May 24-26 at Juniata College in central PA, is a fun and friendly weekend for folk musicians of all levels, from absolute beginner to professional level.
 
Visit us online (www.folkcollege.com) for all the details, which includes lots of workshops, 3 concerts, 2 coaching sessions, plus jamming, singing, and dancing.
 
Featured musician faculty include masters of traditional music April Verch & Joe Newberry, the sweet harmonies of The Early Mays, blues and songwriting from Scott Ainslie & Reggie Harris, our host band Simple Gifts and many others.
 
Musicians of all instruments and levels are welcome, and there are also choices for non-musicians who want to listen, learn, and experiment with folk music. Each evening features a faculty concert followed by faculty-led jam sessions. Saturday after the concert, we hold a contradance with an open band.
 
You’ll also have an opportunity to be coached by a professional musician in a band setting and to perform in the student concert.

Vienna Serenade in ConcertSituated on the Danube River in Austria, Vienna was the music capital of Europe for many years—a place that most of Europe’s leading classical and romantic era composers called home. Vienna is also a city rich in architecture, with many grand buildings, mansions, gardens, monuments, and parks. Get a taste of Old Vienna on Sunday, June 2 at 2 PM, when Vienna Serenade takes the stage at the Huntingdon County Arts Center. The group consists of 11 professional musicians who recreate the glorious music of the 19th century. Hear waltzes and familiar works by Strauss, Dvorak, Waldteufel, and other famous composers, played by musicians who love this music. Tickets are $20 ($16 for Arts Council members and students) and are available at huntingdoncountyarts.com, at the Arts Center (312 12th Street, Huntingdon) or at the door. There is no charge for children 12 and under. Warning: You may feel like waltzing in the aisles! ... See MoreSee Less
