One of the many tragic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic is the nearly universal paralysis of the arts. An important segment of the artistic community includes the dulcimer community.

QuaranTUNE Dulcimer Festival was formed for two purposes. First, to provide a two-day online venue for those who love the music, friendships, and sense of family so unique to dulcimer festivals. And second, to show love and support for dulcimer professionals who also are victims of the many cancelled festivals and workshops.

We are so sorry to inform you that all of our 2021 scheduled festivals and concerts have been cancelled due to COVID-19 conditions, except Black Mountain Music Festival in October.
