Béla Fleck presents the inaugural Blue Ridge Banjo Camp

Béla Fleck

Béla Fleck presents the inaugural Blue Ridge Banjo Camp to be held at the Brevard Music Center in Brevard, NC on August 15-19, 2018. The camp will feature 3 days and 4 four nights of diverse banjo instruction by Béla himself alongside a cast of world class banjo players/instructors. The week will culminate with a finale concert held in the beautiful Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium.

The instructional focus will be on the three distinct styles of three-finger banjo playing: Scruggs, melodic, and single string. The Blue Ridge Banjo Camp will provide banjo players with the tools to improve their playing and aims to contribute to the overall growth of the fine art of the 5-String banjo.

Instructors include Béla Fleck, Tony Trischka, Kristin Scott Benson, Mike Munford, and Steve Cooley.

The submission deadline for videos from banjo players interested in attending the camp is February 28.  Visit www.blueridgebanjocamp.com for more information, how to apply, and pricing.

Béla Fleck Presents Blue Ridge Banjo Camp at Brevard Music Center

“I’ve loved the banjo and the community that surrounds it ever since I first heard it, and started learning to play.

The Blue Ridge Banjo Camp is my chance to put together an amazing team of 3 finger banjoist/teachers, to pass along what we’ve each been learning, over the years.

I’m looking forward to expanding the teaching side of what I do, and thankful to have an amazing venue in which we can share our love, fascination, and curiosity about music and the 5 string banjo.”
