12-13 Banjo Summit: A Gathering of 5-String Masters Featuring Béla Fleck
Sunday, January 20, 2013 at 7:30PM

The Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts
3 Spruce Street
New York, NY 10023
Located between Park Row and Gold Street (near Brooklyn Bridge and City Hall)

Many of the world’s most influential bluegrass banjo players – all with ties to New York State – will unite to perform in a concert that will find the banjo being performed in both conventional and unexpected ways. In performances ranging from solos and duets to full-tilt banjo blowouts with all the players and an acoustic band, the Schimmel stage will range from the traditional backdrop of bluegrass and old-time country music to the more unconventional banjo genres including jazz, classical and rock music. Banjo mastermind, Béla Fleck will be joined by Tony Trischka, Bill Keith, Richie Stearns, Eric Weissberg, Pete Wernick and Noam Pikelny.
