Acoustic Music Jam @ Huntingdon County Arts Center

Acoustic Music Jam @ Huntingdon County Arts Center

Do you play an acoustic instrument?

Do you like to sing? Do you enjoy listening to traditional music?

Come join the acoustic music jam at the Huntingdon County Arts Center every first Monday of the month.
(NOTE: The December jam is moved to December 11.)

We’ll sing and play familiar songs and tunes and perhaps learn some new ones.

All acoustic instruments welcome (guitar, keyboard, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, squeezebox, flute, harmonica, autoharp . . .)

We’ll play in a variety of styles–old time, bluegrass, blues, world, traditional instrumental dance music, singer-songwriter, musicals–you get it, anything that strikes our fancy.

Jam led by Larry Mutti.

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.
