Strum Bowing Method Workshop with Tracy Silverman
Contrary to popular belief, string players can swing, they can groove, and they can rock out. The old refrain, “strings can’t swing”, may be our past, but it doesn’t have to be our future. String players can be just as effective in a rhythm section as a guitar player. In fact, strings can easily hold down a groove without any rhythm section at all, as fiddle players and string bands can attest.
Join Tracy Silverman for the Strum Bowing Workshop at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 13th, 2019 in the Sanctuary at First Lutheran Church, 225 S 3rd Street, Rockford, IL.

Open to all ages. Admission: Free (ticket required)

Scholarship Spotlight
Brent Blaesing
My musical journey started when I joined the Rock Valley Children’s Choir at the beginning of middle school. My involvement with the Rock Valley Children’s Choir has permanently altered the course of my life. In my time in RVCC, I have performed alongside many major groups, including Kantorei, the Singing Boys of Rockford, as led by Joel Ross. I have performed multiple times at the Coronado Theatre and at the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center. Before joining the choir, music was of minute interest to me. Read more.
