Feb. 17/18, 2017 "Retreat to Advance" A workshop for Violas da Gamba in Chapel Hill, NC
For several years now, a workshop for viols has been a fixture on the calendar of Central Chapter of the American Viola da Gamba Society. Alison Crum and husband Roy Marks come from England to spend a few days with friends who come from all parts of North Carolina and beyond, to enjoy music-making and the camaraderie in an idyllic setting, the Aqueduct Conference Center.

April 23, 2017. An historic event. The celebration of John Pringle's 40 years of making musical instruments in North Carolina. 21 players from all over the state came for this surprise event with their Pringle viols they had commissioned from him. John had been asked to give us a talk on caring for the viols, but did not know he would be serenaded by 21 of his viol output- trebles, tenors and bass, plus a violin that he had "baroqued". It was followed by a sumptuous English afternoon tea, (John is from England) and a good time was had by all.
Congratulations John! the viol and baroque communities here in North Carolina and all over the world, wish you well and looks forward to the production of many more beautiful instruments.
Photo Credits so far - Tim Riggs, Jane Salemson and Jan Jenkins.
