Andean Stringed Instruments with Illapu

Roberto Márquez and Carlos Elgueta of the world renowned Chilean group Illapu will teach Andean stringed instruments, such as the 12-metal-stringed tiple from Colombia, the cavaquinho from the Northeast of Brazil, the Venezuelan cuatro and Bolivian charango. Please see the Illapu performance on Saturday, April 18th. Open to all skill levels. You are welcome to bring your instrument(s) but they are not required to attend.

This workshop is one of three that form part of a four-day residency called “Gracias a la Vida: The Rebel Spirit of Chile's Legendary Voice,” celebrating the life and legacy of one of Latin America’s most important voices. This residency is funded through a “Southern Exposure” grant from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation.
