Located at the Pickering Room in the Fletcher Library on College Street in Burlington.
Anyone may share their “work in progress” at any time, but I recommend that we start with the younger children and their families and save the second half for older students and adults, and Slow Jam participants to finish out the event. T This event is free. Anyone who would like can make a donation to the Fletcher Library but this is not at all required!
I would like to emphasize this as a sharing of our work with others and the community, so that they we can inspire others to consider trying an instrument. We don’t have to think of it as “performing” though there will definitely be an element of that.
Participants should let me know if they are coming. If there is bad weather or other issue check back here orcheck your email in order to get updated on the day of the event. Seating is limited and families of performers will be given priority, but if there is room, the general public will be invited in.
If the event must get cancelled due to a snow storm, we may provide a zoom option, TBD.
Thanks! The latest update of the schedule is below! —Sarah
