Harpa gatherings

Playing together in person

Our harpa gatherings are a monthly jam and group lesson. All nearby nyckelharpa players are welcome.

Although it turns out we have over 80 (!) nyckelharpa players in the northeast, we're still pretty spread out geographically. Folks have been converging here from about a 2-hour drive radius, sometimes farther.

• A combo of teaching, potluck snacks, jamming
• Location = Montague MA, since it's kinda central
• Usually Sunday afternoons, though the times have varied
• Group-lesson rate of $25–$20 (or sliding scale to what works for you)

Upcoming dates

Timing has varied, trending toward midday or early afternoon. Please check in with me if you're planning to come.
