Musicians and Music

Greetings to all those inspired to play music for dancing! There are many opportunities to play music for dancers at Pennsic. Musicians are needed and welcome to play most nights at the European Dance Tent in Pennsic University. During the day, many dance class teachers also welcome musicians to play for their classes. Music is provided. All skill levels of musicians and all acoustic instruments (period or modern) are welcome. Stop by the European Dance Tent for more information, including a schedule of activities that welcome dance musicians!

The 2019 Pennsic Pile, updated and much larger than last year's, is now available. For those of you unfortunate enough to only read C Clef, there's also a special C Clef Edition. There's also a document with advice for Pennsic European dance musicians.

Updates

Updated information will appear on this webpage, on our Facebook page, or you can email the Dean to request email updates.
