2025 SWANNANOA GATHERING STAFF CONCERTS
This year, concerts will be held in the college Chapel, which has a larger seating capacity than the theatre. This means that we’ll be selling tickets to all concerts for 2025.
Ticket sales will be online this year, instead of at Malaprops or Acoustic Corner.
The ticket sales link will be posted here by end of day, June 18.
All shows begin at 7:30 pm in the college’s Chapel. Tickets are $35 per concert (during Old-Time Week, ticket price includes dances following concerts)
Fiddle/Mando & Banjo Week‘s Concert I on Monday, June 30 is the first of three concerts combining the staffs of Fiddle Week with Mando & Banjo Week, featuring some of the world’s finest fiddle, mandolin and banjo players covering a variety of ethnic traditions.
