Stringband Spectacular: Acoustic Music Seminar Finale (old)
Hear inspiring original compositions by the next generation of Americana, bluegrass and acoustic musicians in this highly-anticipated annual concert!
As the culmination of SMF’s Acoustic Music Seminar, a workshop and mentorship program led by Mike Marshall and Assistant Director Julian Lage, this finale concert showcases original compositions and arrangements by the program’s 14 to 22-year-old participants. For the first time, this concert is being held at the historic Trinity United Methodist Church on Telfair Square.
Bill Dawers of the Savannah Morning News wrote of last year’s show: “I can unequivocally say that it was one of the highlights of the festival… There’s a fair chance that a few of the students will headline shows at the SMF itself one day, as they honor and extend America’s great musical traditions.” That statement came true this season, with several festival performances featuring alumni of the Acoustic Music Seminar (Hawktail, Kittel & Co., The Goodbye Girls, Rhiannon Giddens).
