Mountain Dulcimer Virtuoso
Lois Hornbostel - a nationally known performer, author and recording artist - will perform at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, January 24 at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown. Admission is free.
From "down the road" in Cherokee, North Carolina, Lois Hornbostel is one of the country's best known mountain dulcimer performers and teachers. Her repertoire includes old-time fiddle tunes learned from North Carolina string bands, traditional Irish music gleaned from Irish jam sessions in New York City, as well as waltzes and two-steps learned from Cajun musicians in Louisiana. World folk music is another of Ms. Hornbostel's passions, and her first recording Vive Le Dulcimer! was a finalist for an "Indie" award in the World Music category. Ms Hornbostel has also authored a number of instructional books for dulcimer published by Mel Bay Publications.
