Uketoberfest! Fall Ukulele Event

Join us for Uketoberfest!, a one-day ukulele event on Saturday, Oct. 5, featuring all things ukulele for all skill levels! Whether you are an absolute beginner or an intermediate player, participants in Uketoberfest! will have the opportunity to meet others in the ukulele community and develop or enhance their skills on this diminutive yet dynamic instrument. The event will kick off in the morning with an enjoyable, open-group strum and will lead into a day of elective masterclass mini-sessions specific to the uke player. During lunch, which is included with your registration, an open-mic opportunity will be available for the enjoyment of participants and audience alike. The day will conclude with a late afternoon faculty concert and group strum. An optional post-event gathering off campus will provide participants an opportunity to apply new skills as a part of an open jam with others. A limited number of ukes will be available for those who do not own their own. Please indicate your need to borrow a ukulele as a part of the registration process.

Ben Hassenger will be joined by guest artists Amber Rozel, Gerald Ross, Steve Szilagyi, and Patrick Malloy!
