Purpose   History   Meetings

The Great Plains Dulcimer Alliance meets monthly on the second Saturday morning of each month at the Immanuel Baptist Church located at 1415 S. Topeka in Wichita, Kansas.

The meeting begins at 9:30 AM with a half hour business meeting. At 10:00 we adjourn to workshops. We currently provide instructional workshops for Hammered Dulcimer, Mountain Dulcimer, Guitar, Autoharp and other acoustic instruments, whether beginner or advanced. At 11:00 we all meet again for the "Play-Around" during which many members perform. At any given Play-Around one might hear the Hammered or Mountain Dulcimer, Guitar or Autoharp players playing the tune they learned that day in their workshops, a terrific Harmonica player, or perhaps an ensemble of various members.

Occasionally we sponsor different special events from well known performing champions in concert to Bodhran workshops! All acoustic music players/listeners are welcome. Please bring your instruments and come join us!
