A week of music, learning, and exploring

Learn mountain dulcimer with world-renowned instructors Stephen Seifert, Thomasina Levy, and Rob Brereton.

We’re planning eight 75-minute workshops for each player, with three choices each session. That’s 10 hours of classes, along with evening jams, a concert, and plenty of time together over meals and around the ship.

Players: $499 total ($100 nonrefundable registration plus $399 tuition). Companions: $100 nonrefundable registration for group activities, jams, and the concert. Cruise and travel costs are separate.

After Boston to Quebec City in 2025 and Alaska in 2026, we’re looking forward to seeing old friends and welcoming new ones in Europe.
