The Gardner Farm Inn hosts a weekend of strummed instrument activities designed to bring together guitar and other plucked string enthusiasts to explore the worlds of South American and Flamenco strumming in a fun, friendly, and music-loving setting.
Strumming from A to Z ... A Guitar Intensive
Friday evening, Nov. 17th thru Sunday morning Nov. 19th
​
The Master Artists leading the weekend activities are guitarist Scott Hill
and charango player Carlos Boltes of the Alturas Duo, whose focus is
the South American folk and oral tradition as well as contemporary classical, and Maria Zemantauski, acclaimed nylon-string guitarist and composer whose style is heavily influenced by Spanish classical and flamenco music and dance.
