About Our Gathering
The Berkeley Dulcimer Gathering is an online music festival spanning 3 days, providing quality music education on the dulcimer. Nationally-renowned mountain & hammer dulcimer teachers join local favorites to teach a full day of classes on Saturday and longer workshops on Sunday. With a focus on community, participants join a casual teacher meet-and-greet on Zoom the day before the festivities begin. Saturday all are invited to the brown-bag social lunch time in the “home room” where we also end our day in a playing circle for everyone – play a tune or request one! Sunday’s lunch break includes a round table forum on arranging. Friday and Saturday concerts provide 20-40 minute sets where our teaching artists get to shine & demonstrate what students are learning. We welcome all musicians, from complete beginner to advanced player.
