This is a six-day celebration of the Mountain Dulcimer with great player-teachers, playing classes for all skill levels, concerts, field trips, jams, and outdoor beauty in a resort environment. Come learn to play this lovely and user-friendly stringed instrument from American history- or add to the skills you already have in a friendly environment. It’s a wonderful bargain of a “vacation” from which you return with new musical abilities! We invite you to view all the fun classes and musical offerings described here, and to join us in this scenic beauty June 4.

TESTIMONIALS

Here’s what 2011 Dulcimerville guests had to say about our event and location:

  • Thanks to Lois for founding the magical village of DULCIMERVILLE!
  • pic line 2The Blue Ridge Assembly is a delightful venue; I don’t know that you could have found a nicer place to play dulcimers for a week.
  • At Dulcimerville you get to "stay where you play" -no long driving or walking distances between your housing and classes!
  • I highly recommend this marvelous event for all players. Many thanks to Lois Hornbostel for all of her hard work and incredible dedication to the fretted dulcimer. All of the musicians on staff had something great to offer, and the range of players perfectly reflected the wonderful diversity of music styles that fit the dulcimer so well.
  • pic line 3Thanks so much for your gracious hospitality this past week. The event was not only wonderful but, for me, it was life-changing. I feel like I have a whole new community to love!
  • I attended as a brand new Beginner pic line 4dulcimer player and I absolutely loved Dulcimerville. Already I am planning on returning in 2012.
  • All in all, five stars out of five! We hope to return next year.
  • I think you folks are amazing! This was my second year attending Dulcimerville. It was so well organized and a pleasure to be there. It’s evident that you pic line 5took  suggestions from last year and incorporated them into this year to make a good thing even better! 
  • With 25 years of organizing dulcimer events you know how to present the mountain dulcimer at Ducimerville.
  • What a quality bargain this musical "vacation" was!
  • I coulda stayed home and learned playing techniques from a book or online, but I would have missed this great human celebration of music. It enhanced my joy in life!
