Contact us for an invitation.


Baltimore's Ken Kolodner has been called a major part of the rebirth of the hammered dulcimer in the US and is recognized as "one of today's most accomplished..." He is also equally adept at playing fiddle in old-time, Appalachian, and Celtic styles. Besides recording numerous CDs he has also produced instruction books for both hammered dulcimer and fiddle.

Ken had a long career with the trio Helicon with multi-instrumentelist Robin Bullock and wooden flute player Chris Norman. (Robin Bullock had been here with Sly-Dog and Chris Norman here with the CMA and the Madison Early Music Festival, performing at Mills Hall.) In the four years following Helicon, he toured with Quebec fiddler, Laura Rick. He has performed internationally at festivals, music camps and with orchestras.
