Bluegrass & Vocal Week (Summer Heritage Workshops 2025)
On the campus of Davis & Elkins College
Come find out why the International Bluegrass Music Association named Augusta “Event of the Year” in 2019. This week, you can choose from daytime classes offered in Bluegrass music (every instrument plus vocals) and Vocal music in a diverse range of styles—from solo and duet-singing to choral soundscapes. You have the freedom to create the perfect schedule for yourself from the offerings in both those genres. In addition, you can enjoy everything the week has to offer in the evenings, including concerts, dances, jams and more. With Bluegrass Week advisor Ira Gitlin and Vocal Week advisor Val Mindel at the helm, this is sure to be an unforgettable week of music.
Folk Arts for Kids will give participants (ages 5 to 11) a chance to explore craft, nature, music and dance in a fun and immersive environment. This year, for the first time, we are also offering a Bluegrass Kids Academy for ages 9-14. Read more about that program here!
A selection of Craft workshops for teens and adults are also available, with more being added soon.
Do you want to get just a taste of Augusta after work? Sign up for an Evening Mini-Class to get 4 nights of instruction with a world-class instructor. The optional event pass add-on will also get you into all evening concerts during the week of your mini-class. You can sleep next week…
