Old Time Music Week

We are excited to host the return of Old Time Music Week on August 8-12, 2022 here at Stuart’s Opera House!

Old Time Music Week is a part of the Arts Education program at Stuart’s Opera House which reflects the rich traditions of music and storytelling of our Appalachian Foothills Region. Classes are offered in some of the common Appalachian instruments, and students can participate in an old-time string-band ensemble as well as learn about the historical development of the music and culture.

Classes in banjo, mandolin, fiddle, bass, and guitar will be available. Masterclasses and workshops include flatfooting, Appalachian foodways, quilting in the Appalachian tradition, storytelling, instrument repair, Appalachian herbalism, and more!

There is a program registration fee of $150(showpass ticketing fees not included), there are scholarships and payment plan options available upon request and first come first serve.
