Our annual Buskathon, that supports the Woodbury Strings Scholarship Fund, is happening on Church Street in front of Homeport (52 Church Street) from 2 - 5 pm on Saturday, July 16th. Hold the date (raindate July 23)! Come by and see us! This is a free outdoor event, and donations will be accepted for the Woodbury Strings Scholarship Fund from anyone who wishes, but this is not a requirement. We are greatly appreciative of Homeport and Church Street Marketplace for hosting this event for us!
Our performers are beginners through professionals, who are associated in some way with Woodbury Strings (and Green Star Fiddle Lessons) either as private students (former or current), group class participants, colleagues, or members of the Burlington and Beyond Slow Jam, the Vermont Fiddle Orchestra, Young Tradition Vermont, the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association, Northeast Heritage Music Camp, and the Northeast Fiddlers Association. All of these organizations are groups that Woodbury Strings students have been encouraged to participate in, among others, and Sarah has been associated with these groups as faculty or as a member.
Performers have signed up for 2-to-15-minute slots and a schedule can be seen below.
All donations will be given to the Woodbury Strings Scholarship Fund which can be donated to at any time or during the event or after.
