(Scheduled Guitar and Music Workshops and Clinics on Saturday and Sunday, during Show Hours, will be by separate admission.)
Promoting the art of lutherie, The Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase is a low-key, laid-back event for the community of acoustic stringed-instrument builders, players, collectors and aficionados, featuring some of the best makers in the world. Fine, handmade acoustic instruments such as these are not usually available in music stores or other retail environments. This is a rare opportunity for the public to see, hear, play, buy or commission custom-made instruments - the finest examples of the luthiers’ art - gathered together in one place. Meet the builders, discuss custom instruments, and hear some fine music. Classical and flamenco and steel-string guitars - flattops, archtops, manouche, resonators, hybrids - plus mandolins, ouds, ukuleles, banjos and more will be on display in the Bearsville Theater. Vendors Annex right next door in Todd Rundgren’s old Utopia Soundstage will contain more luthiers, plus wood dealers, parts and tool suppliers, string and accessories manufacturers, publications and instructional materials, our Sponsors, and a Special Exhibit of rare and significant historic, vintage and contemporary instruments loaned by major collectors.
There will be live music, including luthier mini-concerts, performances and Special Appearances throughout both days, by some of the world’s finest musicians, in the Bearsville Theater Lounge, included in the price of admission. Instructional clinics and workshops - guitar master classes taught by world famous musicians - by separate admission. See the MUSIC & EVENTS 2010 page for schedule and details.
Proceeds will benefit The John Herald Fund, Family of Woodstock, regional food banks and local soup kitchens, and The Direct Grace Project (www.directgrace.org).
