2017 promises to be an outstanding year for Fiddle Tunes – the first under Joel Savoy’s artistic direction. Registration is now open for 2017 Fiddle Tunes, and the faculty we have confirmed so far is really exciting (with much more still to come!)

View details on each of the confirmed artist faculty on our faculty page, and stay tuned here for updates as we go through fall/winter/spring. Registering early ensures first dibs on housing at Fort Worden, and also puts you on the hook to start practicing even earlier!
